Pihole and DNS requests (lemmy.world)

Not sure if this ever got solved, but I’m running Pihole on my network and eero for gateway, routing, Wi-Fi, and dhcp functions. The gateway address (i.e. 192.168.0.1) is the only one that shows up in the pihole logs.

I have DNS Caching off on my eero configuration, and I’ve got conditional forwarding on on the pihole config.

Anything else I can do to have the individual IPs actually make requests to the pihole without being intercepted by the eero?

Make sure you configured the Eero (in the app) to point your DHCP clients to your PiHole. On the iOS version that setting is under settings—network settings—DNS. Set it up as a custom DNS server. Then release/renew the client devices (or restart) for the setting to take effect.

Yeah that’s all set up and it’s obvious that Pihole is receiving requests from the clients. It’s just that they all appear to be from the eero gateway.
