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.

Hello
This setting Notify DNS server via DHCP option 6
There should be a link to an image here

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
if you want this option, you must install the current beta. You can find it here, select the device, scroll all the way down and load the beta.
Thanks kaetho
The update worked.
The clients are now displayed.
Only now advertising appears again.
My settings:
IPv6 disabled
A second DNS server was deliberately left out to check whether it might be to blame.
Cache is also disabled.
DHCP option 6 enabled
Tests:
➜ ~ scutil –dns | grep ‘nameserver\[0-9]*\’
nameserver[0]: 172.21.131.17
nameserver[0]: 172.21.131.17
nameserver[0]: 192.168.1.2 <- pihole
nameserver[0]: 192.168.1.2
➜ ~ nslookup googleads.g.doubleclick.net
Server: 172.21.131.17
Address: 172.21.131.17#53
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: googleads.g.doubleclick.net
Address: 142.250.185.66
It seems like the calculator is resolving over 172.21.131.17. But this IP doesn’t tell me anything.
Anyone have an idea what it is?
Edit:
pi@pihole:~ $nslookup googleads.g.doubleclick.net
Server: 195.186.4.162
Address: 195.186.4.162#53
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: googleads.g.doubleclick.net
Address: 172.217.168.66
Name: googleads.g.doubleclick.net
Address: 2a00:1450:400a:800::2002
Why does pihole resolve this?
Edit the 2nd:
My adlist

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CamelCase11/UnifiedHosts/master/hosts.all

Edit the 3.
I may have found the problem. The calculator
is connected to the business network with VPN. Now the domains are resolved via the business DNS. As soon as I interrupt the VPN, the advertising disappears.
What I can’t explain is why this also happens to the cell phone, even though it shouldn’t have anything to do with the VPN.
I find having a central ad blocker in your own network very attractive.
Everyone who surfs on my network is usually happy about the significantly ad-free websites, except of course those who, after a Google search, click or tap on one of the top images marked as an ad and then find that the jump to the The website linked behind it does not work.
As @kaetho already mentioned in one of his early posts, this is a not so obvious consequence of a central ad blocker because, for example, the very frequently used Google domain “googleadservices.com” is also centrally blocked .
Of course, you can now unlist “googleadservices.com” and a few other domains on the central ad blocker and then most of the bounces from the ads will work again, but I’m actually reluctant to consciously unblock the largest website trackers again.
How are you currently dealing with it?
Do you explain to your family members and Wi-Fi guests that all ads in your network are now blocked by default and will remain so and can therefore no longer be used as a jumping target, or do you just allow yourself to be reduced to individual whitelist entries for the big trackers?

My sister always gets annoyed when she googles a product and then sees the DNS error message… My Eltern usually do this the classic way and go to https://digitec.ch or https://migros.ch and search for a product.
Personally, out of laziness, I always get around the problem by briefly turning off WiFi and activating 5G :-). But of course it’s not that efficient either.

@DomiP yes, of course you could whitelist it. But a) I usually do this with the YouTube videos on my PC at home, where I can deactivate piHole briefly with “2 mouse clicks”, b) I hate configuring systems down to the last bit that only have a “limited amount” anyway “lifetime”, c) of course it’s “tricky”, the function is financed through advertising and d) I simply didn’t think that it could be whitelisted (the suffering from that isn’t great enough) 😉 -> I was just too lazy to do it until now 😉 😉
Here’s another great solution that works on the go, without a VPN: [https://labzilla.io/blog/adguard-dns-over-https](https://labzilla.io/blog/adguard-dns- over-https)
