TheoTodays project: creating a Pi-Hole.
On a Raspberry Pi model 1B
So, with a little slack.
I successfully got my Raspberry Pi to run Pi-hole.
The only thing now is that my Ziggo Smartmodem will not accept the Raspberry Pi's IP address as DNS server...
🤔
Turns out that the Ziggo Smartmodem is programmed to ~not~ accept local IP addresses as DNS server. 😡
To make things work I need to setup the PI-hole also as DHCP, and turn off the DHCP from the Smartmodem.
Can do that!
Mark van Bijnen@theosvv now you got it working, what’s the effect? Are web pages still looking complete but got rid of all these nasty pop-ups?
Will you report your ‘ziggo solution’ to the developers of Pi-hole?

@markvanbijnen Let's first get it working.. Turned off DHCP in the Ziggo modem and on in the Pi-hole.
In the logs and clientlist of the Pi-hole I can see my laptop's IP address coming up. So far so good.
But: nothing is blocked. It looks like the whole functionality of the Pi-hole is bypassed.
So, stil working on that...
@markvanbijnen thanks!
This is probably the part where you change the DNS in the modem to the IP address of the PI-hole.
Ziggo Smartmodem won't allow that.
The workaround is (according to the Ziggo forum guys) to have the PI-hole take care of both DCHP and DNS, and disable these in the modem.
Did that. Doesn't work so far..
@markvanbijnen Update: actually it -does- work.
I can see the traffic from my wife’s laptop. But only that..
I will dig into that later.
