Is there an extension to the Pi-hole.

@MiriamF @kaetho Thank you for the extremely helpful instructions! I received my Raspi 3+ kit this morning (a Raspi 4 is very “overkill” for a simple Pi-hole) and in the afternoon my Pi-hole was already integrated into the private network.

I’m leaving out the Swisscom Internet box and the TV-Box - I don’t want to overload my Pi-hole with Netflix DNS queries 😉

Yes, cool. I did it too.

It’s working so far and I’m already on my third Raspi.

A housing that fits ( with a little filing) I also found it.

PoE is a great thing, although Swisscom itself doesn’t really offer it or anywhere.

IMO with the Raspy PoE hat it’s a bit loud. Almost has the same noise level as my NAS.

I’m also on my 3rd Raspi, a 4th is being considered. Unfortunately I couldn’t find a suitable housing, so I’m making one myself 😉

All with PoE, nicely stored in a rack in the basement, then the volume no longer plays a role.

Rack version. Awesome… 😁

I installed the PI-Hole on a Synology NAS, works perfectly.

If you have a Synology NAS and can install Docker, you should take a look at the video here.

Super simply explained.

Thank you for the great instructions!!!

But unfortunately this didn’t quite work for me. I installed Pi-hole on my Raspberry Pi 4 as per the instructions. I can also access the dashboard via IP address (i.e. in the browser). Then I see that nothing is happening. For example, chip advertisements are still displayed on my devices. However, I changed the DNS server on the router to the IP address of the Raspberry Pi, but this still didn’t work. I have also already tried changing the DNS server on my Windows device only. This was successful with IPv4 & IPv6 because this is displayed correctly in the CMD with the command “ipconfig /all”, i.e. the IP address of the Raspberry Pi for the DNS server.

Does anyone know what I did wrong or what I forgot to do?

Thank you very much and best regards

Hi @Friveupa20

how did you configure IPv6 on the IB3 and in piHole? When I set it up, IPv6 was disabled on the IB3.

It is now activated on the IB3. In piHole it currently looks like this:

IPv6 is not activated at all. This is how it currently works for me.

But I have to honestly admit that I haven’t given much thought to IPv6 yet. So far this is how it works in my home network. If anyone has concrete input on how to configure piHole and IPv6 better/more correctly, please post here 😉

Hi everyone,

I have now connected my (old) Pi to the Internetbox 3 and everything works, with one exception: only 2 clients are displayed in the Pihole, namely localhost and internetbox.home, although all network clients of course go via the Pihole.

Does anyone have an idea what else I need to set so that all device names / hostnames are “reported” to the Pi?

@POGO 1104: very good tip with the VPN, I actually wanted to use the VPN function of the Internet box there.

@schafholt every device in your network connects to the Internet via the IB. This means that the DNS requests also run via the Internet box. You can do this in your iPhone’s DNS settings (here) or in the DNS settings of an Android (here) and on Mac ([here](https://www.hellotech.com/guide/for/how-to-change-dns-server-windows-mac#:~:text=Windows%2010%20Computer- ,To%20change%20your%20DNS%20server%20on%20a%20Windows%2010%20computer,the%20following%20DNS%20server%20address.)) or under Windows ([here](https://www.hellotech.com/guide/for/how-to-change-dns-server-windows-mac#:~:text=Windows%2010%20Computer -,To%20change%20your%20DNS%20server%20on%20a%20Windows%2010%20computer,the%20following%20DNS%20server%20address.) ) adjust the DNS settings and enter your PiHole there.

@schafholt is the option “DNS server notified via DHCP option 6” enabled?

I also installed a PI-Hole and got a blocked rate of 8.3%. I saw in YT instructions that they had to activate Unique Local Addresses (ULA) on the Fritz boxes so that they could get to 30%. Does this also work with the IB4?

Since my Raspi is still not available, I built a virtual Raspi (just for fun) in the VMWARE player, the ISO file can be found here:

Raspberry Pi Desktop for PC and Mac – Raspberry Pi

I installed Pi-hole on it following these instructions:

Block ads on every device in your house with a Raspberry Pi and Pi-hole - Raspberry Pi

And yes, all of this only took about 2 hours (it was my first contact with Raspi OS) and it worked the first time:

Even for owners of a Raspi, the VMWARE version of the Raspi should be very interesting if you want to develop and test something “outside” the Raspi.

@hed I’ve been running PiHole on Docker on my NAS for a long time. You can currently use the Raspi

at https://rpilocator.com/ where you can buy some

@user109

I’ve been on the waiting list at the pi-shop for a few months, but I’m in no hurry. If the Raspi doesn’t come this year, it will come next year or in 2024, or… it doesn’t matter.

@hed I had my Pi in my hand within 1 week without a waiting list, via this page.

You can also virtualize very nicely with Proxmox. Sometimes several “Raspis” walk next to each other at the same time.

So I tried running pihole, nextcloud, wireguard and a Minecraft server virtually, each application on its own on a virtual machine.

@user109

I’m interested in the kit with a Raspi with 8 GB. Whenever possible and not urgently, I only order from dealers I know in Switzerland and I’m on the waiting list at digitec, brack and pishop. As I said, it’s just for fun and not worth the effort to keep looking for it. If it’s available at some point it’s good, if not too.

For info:

If required, Raspi 4 with 4GB RAM are currently (as of June 30th) “normal” available in the Pi-shop. (Hardly available worldwide after around 2 years)
