Hi guys!

So, it seems I’m getting again stuck with my pihole, seems it might not resolve domains I know that are new to it… So, if I try to visit the website from my browser (firefox or ungoogle chromium), it gets a DNS failure. Same with a nslookup. But if I connect to the pihole and do a: dig saigoneer.com @127.0.0.1 -p 5335 I get the full response and resolution. But even in the pihole, attempting nslookup saigoneer.com will fail. Any idea what can I try next?

Thanks!

    I use linux, yeah. nameserver is 127.0.0.53 (?). search is pointing to the pihole server.

      @[email protected] Ubuntu? What happens if you manually change resolv to the up of your pinhole? I remember Ubuntu has this silly resolvconfd that makes everything more confusing

        Sorry…what do you mean changing the resolv to the up of the pihole? I’m a bit lost here 😅

          @[email protected] So what I suspect happens is that you have your pihole server running, but your computer is not using it and instead is querying 1.1.1.1 or other default DNS server.

          So what I was thinking is that if that is the case, you can force your computer to use your pihole by editing /etc/resolv.conf to have your pihole’s IP as a nameserver.
