I’ve installed it on Ubuntu and Raspberry Pi but when I went to my friend’s house today to install it on his Debian 12 laptop I couldn’t get it to work. It might have just been general networking problems but is Debian shipped without a package that’s needed for pihole?
The result of my attempt was strange- dig showed the computer was using 127.0.0.1#53 for DNS resolver, the pihole dashboard in the browser showed the queries, but Firefox kept saying it can’t find the page. It was kind of embarrassing since I talked up pihole a lot and couldn’t get it to work lol.
Maybe Firefox was configured for DoH. Then it wouldn’t use the OSs DNS settings.
Oh yea, excellent point. I’ll have to check that out next time, thanks.
No, it wasn’t that :/
The other thing that’s strange is that it all queries are coming from the client pihole:
Client: pi.hole <local IP address>Query Status: Forwarded, reply from 127.0.0.1#5335Reply: SERVFAILThe pihole is installed on the same computer that it’s supposed to be the DNS resolver for (no access to router). I followed the instructions to the tee when installing pihole + unbound from the pihole website, but for some reason it’s not working. All queries get SERVFAIL :/
