I also disabled IPv6 like @kaetho and everything works perfectly with Apple devices too. However, I meant that in the latest version of PiHole IPv6 could also be used via PiHole’s DNS. But I haven’t tried it yet.

Hello everyone,

Thanks for the answer, I have now switched off IPv6 and it works as expected. @DomiP Yes exactly, the latest PiHole version supports IPv6 DNS as far as I know, but there is probably no way to change the IPv6 DNS on the IB yet. Unfortunately, I don’t really know much about IPv6, but I would welcome it if this option were available in the future.

This is so plastic router-like. You do something sometimes but not consistently. Especially with IPv6, this device is still in Swisscom research status.

Presumably rdnss is used via radvd and identifies itself as a DNS server.
Well, there are a lot of ways in which this could be approached correctly, admittedly. A Swisscom-like solution would not specify the IPv6 DNS and the DNS resolution of IPv6 entries would also take place purely via IPv4 😊 That would be a dirty quick solution. Because Swisscom Research would have to look into everything else in more detail…

As an end user with this plastic touter, you could currently activate the DNS server manually in the WiFi settings on Apple devices and simply delete the IPv6 server (or specify Pihole’s IPv6).

By the way, I now have Unbound active and am super happy with it. Works wonderfully with DNSSEC too.

@Cruncher

Unbound as a local DNS resolver is still in my personal experiment pipeline.

However, as an attempt I would not outsource it to a Raspi, but rather install it directly as an additional plug-in on my main router running Asus Merlin.

Unbound actually has a very good reputation in the forums, but have you noticed any clear disadvantages to using Unbound in your experiments so far?

I would just like to get a better feeling for how worthwhile it could be to invest in using Unbound.

I have found absolutely no disadvantages so far. Not even in terms of speed. It may be a little slower at the beginning, but I couldn’t really tell.

I can absolutely confirm what @Cruncher said.

I set up Unbound via DNS root server on Ubuntu Server 20.10 on the Pi 4 as follows:

The first time you access a page, it feels like it takes a little longer. The Pi provides the name resolution for this. The pages open quickly and cleanly without advertising.

I treated my Pi to the Argon one m2 case with a small Samsung SSD and fan control 😍.

@Cruncher

Thanks for your feedback.

Have any of you used this in combination with DNS-over-TLS?

Hello @Werner

Not me (yet). But try it out when you get the chance.

For anyone who wants to try it on the Pi/Pi-hole, this might help:

@kaetho

You will probably notice after a while that this setting does not work as desired. DNS 2 is not only used if the first one fails, the requests are distributed across both servers.

Hello

So insert the Pi-Hole into both or delete one entry?
Can the pi-Hole be operated on Ethernet and cable so that it can use both signals in parallel, so to speak? then you could enter the pi-hole at DNS 1 and 2.

Kind regards

I set DNS 1 to the Pi-hole IP and DNS 2 to 9.9.9.9 - works great

What do you mean by “Ethernet” and “cable”? What kind of cable?

There are routers that have special settings for using up to 16 different DNS servers alternately for privacy reasons, for example…

But the Swisscom Internet boxes don’t do that.

Like my SU colleagues, I’m pretty sure that the Swisscom Internet boxes only use DNS 2 as a failover.

Do you also have hundreds of requests from the Internet Box to internetbox-nas.swisscom.ch? Even though the NAS function of the IB is deactivated?

@sidney I’ve also had a lot of requests for the IB’s NAS service for a few days now. However, it may not be directly from the NAS but rather from the IB itself - this phone calls home to Swisscom for metrics, for example. Could be because of that; that the URL was simply named arbitrarily.

I don’t have my IB3 with firmware 11.01.30/11.01.40/01598.

Is this perhaps somewhere else on the IB3 and I can’t find it?

Anyone an idea?

Thanks
