I have couple of servers, and some printers applied with static IP. Is it possible for them to show up in PiHole's DNS automatically?

I need help figuring out my Homelab in a box. I'm currently running an Asustor NAS with docker for most of my hosting applications. I'd like to set up Authentik to log into the NAS with a single sign on. I've figured out that the NAS only supports Web Portal, AD and LDAP logins. So my plan is to have FreeIPA run a DNS server, run the LDAP server and be running a Web UI for easy config/management. All of the docker-compose yaml's I've been able to find and tinker with don't seem to work for what I need. Image of the planned set up attached. So far I have got everything from the Cloudflare, through Nginx, through Authentik to Portainer via Oauth working. I just need a solution for the NAS as it doesn't support Oauth. If someone could point me in the right direction it would be a big help!! Mostly stolen the YAML from here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71096130/freeipa-docker-compose-web-ui The latest .yaml I have been trying to get to work is: version: "3.8" services: freeipa: image: freeipa/freeipa-server:centos-8-stream hostname: sanctuary domainname: serv.sanctuary.local container_name: freeipa-dev ports: - 80:80 - 443:443 - 389:389 - 636:636 - 88:88 - 464:464 - 88:88/udp - 464:464/udp - 123:123/udp dns: - 192.168.50.1 #My Router IP - 1.1.1.1 - 1.0.0.1 restart: unless-stopped tty: true stdin_open: true environment: IPA_SERVER_HOSTNAME: serv.sanctuary.local IPA_SERVER_IP: 192.168.50.201 #My NAS IP TZ: "[My_Location_Here]" command: - -U - --domain=sanctuary.local - --realm=sanctuary.local - --admin-password=[My_Password0_Here] - --http-pin=[My_Password1_Here] - --dirsrv-pin=[My_Password2_Here] - --ds-password=[My_Password3_Here] - --no-dnssec-validation - --no-host-dns - --setup-dns - --auto-forwarders - --allow-zone-overlap - --unattended cap_add: - SYS_TIME - NET_ADMIN volumes: - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro - /sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup:ro - /share/Docker/FreeIPASanc/data:/data #NAS location easily accessible - /share/Docker/FreeIPASanc/logs:/var/logs #NAS location easily accessible sysctls: - net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=0 - net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6=0 security_opt: - "seccomp:unconfined" labels: - dev

Hi Community, I´m getting some issues recently while trying to play Dayz again. While trying to connect i´ll get the error 0x00010001 which means that the host is not reachable, but with VPN connection everything works. So it has to be a problem with my settings. I tried to set up another DNS 8.8.8.8 & 1.1.1.1 instead of my pihole. I tried to open ports (set up a wildcard) for testing in my pfsense. I have uninstalled my surfshark vpn (sometimes they do cause the issue) and now I don´t have any idea left to check. Mostly I run an proxy to cloudflare for my whole network, but I disabled it for the testing. Has anyboby an idea what I could do next? Thx a lot

I apologize for the long winded explanation of the issue... I am completely lost here. I am trying to access a few newly added web apps I intend to host. When trying to reach them I get nothing. Beating my head against the wall for a few days with no luck. Not sure what new link in the chain is kicking me. Some background: Currently I host several web applications out of my home server running TrueNAS Scale Bluefin 22.12.0. My setup for accessing them is simple: TrueNAS machine Truechart or Official Chart app Node Proxy Manager (Truechart) (Port 443) Port 443 forwarded on router to TrueNAS machine Domain (Cloudflare NS & Proxy) points to my home IP. Profit.. This has worked wonderful for me, but I am getting sick of TrueNAS Charts, and even more sick of Truecharts. Desired new setup: I have installed a debian VM running docker and portainer on the TrueNAS machine. I have a bridge setup as the network interface on this VM. I can access portainer using 192.168.1.101:9443. Great! Seems to work. Add a new container, 192.168.1.101:8443... I'm in, awesome. Add new domains to NodeProxyManager. Nothing. Can't get in. Odd. When I open the ports on my router they become accessible. I can use Node to forward to my desktop without issue. What is or isn't working: For example, just to test I spun up codiad. http://192.168.1.101:7443 https://code.domain.tld (Proxied by cloudflare) This is the one I would like to be working https://home.domain.tld (Not proxied, but pointing to the same IP) https://home.domain.tld:7443 (Not proxied, port opened at router pointing to VM IP) https://code.domain.tld:7443 (Proxied, port opened at router pointing to VM IP) https://home.ip:7443 (port opened at router pointing to VM IP) So, opening the ports directly works, but only when not proxied. (Not a real option for my use case) Level1Techs uses a VPN to access all the apps in the guide I read, but some of my apps are meant to be public. Any time NPM is in the chain it seems to break, but I don't have any issues using it for other devices on my network, including the TrueNAS charts on the same machine. NodeProxyManager setup (It also has home.domain.tld pointing to this same entry for testing) Info Physical NIC/TrueNAS NIC IP: 192.168.1.100/24 Bridge/debian VM IP: 192.168.1.101/24 Router: Dream Machine Pro: IP 192.168.1.1/24 I setup my VM, docker environment, and portainer following this guide from level1techs Any ideas on how to resolve this issue would be extremely appreciated.

My ISP provides a very bad DNS server. However, I found online help from Face he fixed my DNS ping through Open VPN he provided me a Configuration file, When I connected through Open VPN My internet Ping reduced to 18ms on 1.1.1.1. When I run a test on CMD without a VPN my ping goes back to 50 ms on 1.1.1.1 can a network expert on LTT Forum help me fix this problem? I want to achieve 18 ms ping without any VPN. Please help. Here I am attaching some Pictures. Please help to solve this problem. Your Regards, Muhammad Abdullah

I'm having an issue with pfsense. Whenever I download some bigger files the DNS stops responding and I need to restart the macine. It's running the latest pfsense build. I had a similar issue in 2.6 when downloading but it dns would start responding again after a heavy download finished. Machine is an AM1 5150, 12Gb DDR3, two nics (1x dual port 1x quad port) I'm considering doing a fresh install if I messed up any setting.

I have a few different devices, all custom-made by a manufacturer, that are having a strange intermittent connection issue. These devices act as Kiosks, so they are not very powerful devices. The devices are connecting to the local network, and other networks with no issues and I’m able to see it online across a WAN via remote management software. Some HTTPS traffic seems to fail to work on the device at different intervals. They will sometimes start working again after a few minutes or perpetually reach out to the webpage but never connect unless I restart the device. It doesn’t matter what webpage I try to reach, eventually, it will fail to resolve the query. I’ve captured network packets from the device via Wireshark and you can see the outbound DNS query but sometimes there is no response. It will attempt a few retransmissions, then it will just stop until I refresh the page. Sometimes it will start working again, and sometimes it won't. In the Windows event viewer, I see DNS failures (Event ID: 1014) for various URLs, including the one I actually want to access. These devices are on constantly, with a restart every day early in the morning. They are all updating regularly with Windows Updates (No feature updates because it's Enterprise IoT). This issue has been going on for months now and it's driving me crazy. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Some of the things I’ve already tried: Flushing the DNS cache on the device and browser cache Changing the DNS servers that the device reaches out to (On the device, and our router) Providing a static IP for the device Checked for Windows file corruption via SFC scan Reinstall drivers, and updated drivers Disabled all services, except core Windows services Manually list the URL in the Windows Host file to bypass DNS Cleared browser cache Ethernet Only Connection Wi-Fi Only Connection Re-imaging the device Reset TCP/IP stack Specs Unit-1: Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC Version 10.0.17763 Build 17763 Processor: Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU N3450 @ 1.10GHz, 1101 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s) Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 4.00 GB Ethernet: Realtek PCIe GbE Family Controller Wifi NIC: Intel(R) Wireless-AC 9260 160MHz Specs Unit-2: Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC Version 10.0.17763 Build 17763 Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU E3845 @ 1.91GHz, 1909 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s) Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 4.00 GB Ethernet: Intel(R) 82574L Gigabit Network Connection Wifi NIC: Intel(R) Wireless-AC 9260 160MHz Specs Unit-3: Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSB Version 10.0.14393 Build 14393 Processor: Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU J1900 @ 1.99GHz, 1993 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s) Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 4.00 GB Ethernet: Realtek PCIe GbE Family Controller Wifi NIC: Realtek 8821AE Wireless LAN 802.11ac PCI-E NIC

My wifi has stopped working I’ve tried resetting my router, resetting my settings, factory reset, control prompt codes, delete and installing fresh drivers and entering Google’s DNS and still nothing is working does anyone know how to fix this? I’m windows 11 if that helps cheers.

Hi, So I have an issue that a friend and I have been trying to resolve for quite some time and with no luck, I'm here looking for guidance/help on the issue. On the surface of the issue, what happens is that it seems that the ping on his computer spikes for a second or so and is enough to mess up a lot of games and programs. What temporary fixes this is clearing his DNS and restarting the computer, where the issue is resolved for a few hours till the issue comes back again. What we know - it isn't a firewall issue. We cleared and reset the firewall settings to the point before the issue began - Isn't an internet issue, other computers in the house don't have this issue (the house has 300mbs) - Some games say it's an issue with the clock, and it seems that it's almost like a de-sync issue. - Some games actually think that he is lag-switching (an easy cheating method to make it hard to hit etc) - Games in the source engine run fine. CS, Apex, and also Overwatch run fine - Discord streams seem very laggy and pixelated until we run the DNS flush possibilities - we think it might be a corrupt file within Windows, but aren't sure - sometimes, the issue appears again after the computer goes to sleep and comes back on - we don't think it's a virus on the computer, but it could be. We have run antivirus checks, and it hasn't come up with anything. I also wanted to note that another method fixes the issue as well. Running "dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth" and "sfc /scannow" also seem to temporarily fix the issue. I hope this is enough to help figure something out, I really appreciate any help we can get here! Thanks yall!!

Specs CPU: Intel Core i7-13700KF 3.4 GHz 16-Core Processo GPU: Asus TUF GAMING OC V2 GeForce RTX 3080 10GB LHR 10 GB Video Card Mobo: Gigabyte Z690 AORUS ELITE AX ATX LGA1700 Motherboard Ram: Corsair Vengeance 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-5600 CL36 Memory Power Supply: Corsair RM750x (2021) 750 W80 I build my own PC around 7 months ago. This was the first time of me building a PC. All in all went pretty well. Sadly I keep running into an issue of the network/DNS server failing to respond (attatched event viewer log in picture) in this case it happend often right after eachother but sometimes there are hours or days inbetween this issue. What i have noticed is that it seems to happen more often when the connection is under load, sadly i can't seem to replicate the exact circumstances but it happens more often when watching livestreams. My old PC didnt have this issue and this pc was connected via the same cable and every other connected device in my house is it via wifi or cable doesnt seem to have this issue. I used to run a virtual machine on my pc with Pihole on it but i removed this when the issue first started after building this PC afterwards i also did a complet reset of windows so all the settings would refert back. I have tried myself to look up what could be the issue here and i have tried to following solutions. I checked the drivers from both gigabyte and realtek. I disabled and deleted the gigabyte control centre program in case this was causing issues. I have disabled CPU's Offload I have reinstalled windows I have changed the power adapter settings in the network settings. I have changed the ipv4 settings to route to the default gateway and ipv4 adress i get from running the /ipconfig command in Command Prompt. I have switched around the duplex settings in the network settings. I reset network settings via the Windows button. I have tried to check if i can fix it via a registry edit (googled some solutions but couldnt figure this out) I have disabled IPv6 and if I remember correctly i also tried to flush the dns cache via the Command Prompt or something akin to that. Still the issue persists. I contacted gigabyte about this but they responded to do another clean install with clean partitions and use the gigabyte control centre to update the drivers. (these different solutions weren't all done at the same time. Sometimes weeks or months passed between trying different solutions) I looked into if it could be an issue with the controller on the MOBO (Realtek Gaming 2.5GbE Family Controller) but even though it seems there were issues with this controller it got fixed with a driver update (one I downloaded and tried but didnt fix my issue) I am stumped at what is causing the issue and would greatly appreciate anybody's help with figuring out this issue.

Hello! But regarding the following specific questions I don’t find any answers… all answers I found are talking about nginx behind a public IP and port forwarding or only talking about bind9 alone. Currently I’m running a TrueNAS Scale with multiple TrueCharts charts which have their own dns server which is resolving to the other containers inside its cluster and (and all other devices in my private ip namespace) and a reverse proxy (traefik) that provides https. But the plan is to outsource the dns server running on scale. The thing is that if this instance goes down my whole network doesn’t have dns and the gui from the underlying host os is not reachable through domain. (Same for other services which are not inside the cluster like my routers gui for example). I’m using my own FQDN but the services are all non https and need therefore a reverse proxy. For your better understanding: tns.example.net is the webgui of truenas scale and has the .85 IP and should be resolved via .101 IP bind9 and proxied with nginx on the same IP as bind9 Nc.example.net is on the .86 IP and should be resolved using .101 and proxied via traefik on .86 inside the same cluster. So the idea is to use an external bind9 dns server and nginx reverse proxy to solve that problem. Both are running already as docker containers on a Ubuntu server. Now the question: Where should bind resolve to? How to setup nginx? thanks in advance and have a great weekend!

Hi, I have a small home server with the hostname "lapis" with a couple of services on it inside docker containers and the whole thing behind traefik as a reverse proxy. In my router I gave my server a static IP as well. And I can generally use "lapis" inplace of the local IP to access my server (e.g. ssh). But I have multiple services that I access through the browser e.g. jellyfin that obviously can't all share port 80/443. Now usually Jellyfin runs on port 8096 so I have to actually type "lapis:8096" into the browser to access it. Is there a way either to configure either on my server (debian 11) or in my router Fritz!Box 7530 AX additional subdomains like jellyfin.lapis, etc (or maybe even a *.lapis wildcard) that all point to the same server? That way I can use my reverse proxy to properly redirect traffic from port 80/433 to the appropriate containers based on the Host in the request similar to how I can do it when setting up subdomains for a public domain name.

I have the need to put a local DNS server on my network and I was wondering what the options are. It will most likely go on a Pi, but I might also have a Ubuntu box I can use. In the past I have used DNSmarq to handle DHCP, and DHCP reservations, on my NDI network. That was a couple of years ago, and I don't know what options people are actually using now. So, what are you using, and what environment are you using it in? Thanks.

I've been using Pi-Hole with recursive dns While randomly using Pi-Hole on my PC running Windows as a Client discord stopped responding and i cannot connect to calls at all While i searched on google the only thing i could find is my RTC not in sync How do you sync the time? Is there any other solutions???

I've been trying out NextDNS for the last month. It's been working very well for blocking ads and shit. Has anyone else tried it and had a different experience? Is it worth buying Pro? Would you trust it for privacy? Also, how does it compare to ControlD?

Hi Toghether I'm currently building up my new Truenas system on my Testbench. After a successful start I will change some hardware over and build it into the case of the old Truenas System I have already some experiences with Truenas Core but want to switch to a Linux based OS and newer (and also not defect) Hardware. I also know Pihole for quite some time (two successful installations on RaspberryPi’s and one installation in a VM in my old Truenas Core system) So I have some troubles getting the Pihole App doing its job. I can successfully install both variants (Truenas or Truecharts) but both share the same problem. My devices can’t send the DNS requests to them. I can open both WebUI’s and both can update the gravity and download new lists. The IP-address of the NAS/Pihole is used on the devices not in my router/modem, because the router/modem capabilities are mostly locked by the provider. I changed for these tests the DNS-addresses on both my PC and my Smartphone multiple times between my currently running PiHole VM and the new installed app. It always ended by my computer and phone saying that I am not connected to the internet and not being able to open websites. I used only the default settings and ports in the apps. Any ideas what I should try next? My specs are: Truenas Scale 22.12.2 Asrock Z97 Extreme4 Intel i5 4570 2x2GB RAM (will be upgraded to 2x8GB RAM) Integrated Intel GPU Intel 128GB NVME Boot Drive Intel 256 GB NVME Drive for VMs and Apps (4*4TB WD NAS HDD for Mass storage will be added later) 450W Noname PSU (will be a Sabrent >500W 80plus Gold PSU) Provider: Wingo 10Gbps fiber As a little background to myself: My knowledge about software and networking is limited. Informatics is a hobby and sometimes side part of my job. I would never consider myself as an expert or experienced, but I am willing to learn everything that is useful to me or my family and friends.

Hey, this is my first post I am working on a system with the following design: I have 3 Remote Desktop Servers with the session host role installed on them and a third one with the broker and licensing role installed on it. The Remote Desktop Session Hosts are configured as one collection. I also have 20 Thin Clients with IGEL OS installed (a Thin Client Linux OS) I am looking for a way to make sure that when I connect to the collection, I will always be directed to a server that is online. Right now, I am using a DNS round-robin on the Domain Controller to resolve the session name to one of the RDS Servers. But when a server is down, round-robin still returns it's IP-Address and I get a timeout. I use a regular RDS-Connection (FreeRDP) not a conenction via WebRD or similar. Is there a way to make sure, that when i connect to the collection, i will be directed to an active RDS which will communicate with the broker to load balance? Thank you

hi i start with saying that i'm not expert in this kind of things. i would set up a SRV record in my domain DNS setting but it keep saying that the zone is not correct and can't be saved, here's what i wrote: _minecraft._tcp.rgl...it. 900 IN SRV 0 5 25565 minecraft.rg...it. i'm also going to attach a photo if can help

Heya guys!! Can anybody please tell me what are DNS servers and what is IPv4 and IPv6 and which one is more reliable and fast? I'm really confused with all that and what is all that........ Regards, MightyRexen.

Hello guys! It took me three days to troubleshoot my network, but no luck. I hope that somebody will help me. I turned my old laptop into an Ubuntu Server with AdGuard Home running in it. Ubuntu Server - 192.168.254.102 I changed my Primary and Secondary Server on my router. DHCP Primary DNS - 192.168.254.102 (Ubuntu server's static IP address) DHCP Secondary DNS - 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare DNS as a fallback) I already set a static IP address on all of the devices. However, I have an Orange Pi One that is connected via Ethernet cable. I was trying to ping the devices that is connected over WAN from my Orange Pi One, which is connected over LAN. The Orange Pi One can only ping the router, but not the devices connected on the same network. I already installed openssh-server and ufw on my Orange Pi One. It listens to 22/tcp and 22/udp. My Orange Pi One run Armbian Debian 10 Buster xfce desktop. Orange Pi One's IP address - 192.168.254.102 Router's IP address - 192.168.254.254 I did not change my LAN interface on my router, but I updated the DNS server of my Ethernet on my Orange Pi One to 192.168.254.102, which is my Ubuntu Server's IP address. LAN interface - 192.168.254.254 Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.0

I've got an idea to make my home a bit smarter and wanted to be able to access my home printer from school so I don't have to think about printing resources required by my teachers every time I get home. So I found an unused raspberry pi, set it up, bought public IP from my ISP and got to work. Everything worked fine until I've got stuck and cannot find a solution to the last step required to mark this as done. Every time I set up a port forwarding to my raspberry. Internet stop working. Connections that were made before I set it up still work, but I can't do any new ones (like Discord call is still working or YouTube video is still able to load itself). This behaviour ends only if I change DNS from my Pi-hole and change it to something else like Cloudflare. I first thought that this might be because Pi-hole might use the same port for its services but after I changed the port of the print server a few times I've proven myself wrong. I also tried to set up Pi-hole as a DNS through each device connected, that didn't help either. I should probably mention that if I have my DNS forwarding to pi-hole, pi-hole sees it and responds with "OK, sent to 1.1.1.1"- message that is expected so Pi-hole should not be a problem. Router model, if helpfull: Phicomm KE 2P Sorry if there are some problems with understanding my text. I am not a native speaker.

Alright, so this has been happening nearly everyday for a few months now and I'm not sure how resolve it. Here's what's happening: I have Spectrum internet with the modem they gave me, that's connected to a TP-Link AC1750 router. The TP-Link has two ethernet connections, my PC and my server, then everything else is connected to it via wifi (laptops, chromecasts, smart devices, etc...). At least once a day, sometimes more, my PC loses connection and all the wifi goes out. The indicator on my Spectrum modem shows nothing is wrong, but the ethernet indicator on my router turns orange and when I go into the TP-Link web settings it says I have 'poor connection'. Here's the weird part. My server connected to the same router still gets internet and can function normally, also if I have my VPN on, on my personal PC I can still get internet. (Now that I'm typing this, I'm realizing the server always stays connected because it's always connected to a VPN). EDIT: Forgot to mention another odd thing. When I am not on a VPN and I'm watching a YouTube livestream, when the connection goes out the livestream still works (Twitch does not btw). So I am still technically receiving some sort of connection. The quick and easy way to fix the issue is to restart the modem and wait for everything to kick back on. Restarting the router does not work. I assumed this was a DNS issue and tried changing my DNS servers in the TP-Link settings but that didn't resolve it either. I also thought my PC's onboard ethernet adaptor was broken and overloading the network (I'm not even sure that's a thing) because when I would download a game and stream at the same time, this issue would come up often. So I bought a PCI-E network adaptor and I thought I had fixed it, but it's happening again. Hopefully this all makes sense, any questions please ask away. Just need some help!

I configured my PC to use Cloudflare on both Windows and the default gateway, but when I do ipconfig in cmd the primary one still shows as the ISP one, cloudflare being the 2nd and 3rd. Is there a way to change this? The router doesn't even show me the option to disable the ISP's DNS service anywhere.

Hi All, I just recently did a fresh install and forgot to back up the hosts file I was using to block garbage. So I got a new one I found on the internet from Github (StevenBlack Unified hosts = adware + malware), which is apparently the same filter that is default on pi hole. I also did the usual fiddle with browser privacy settings + install privacy extension in Firefox. I do think this hosts file is a lot bigger than my old one with this new one containing 91,898 entries. So the thing I want to check is that when I do new things such as the first time I try and run a new game that has internet connectivity or if I turn off/pause my VPN my internet essentially dies (I can't navigate anywhere as I get errors) and in Task manager Services Hosts: DNS Client goes to 16 to 17% CPU usage (normally sits at 0 to 0.1%) and power usage reports as very high. This normally lasts anywhere up to 1 minute before dropping back down to very low power usage and the internet works again. I did also get a windows security suite warning about the hosts file but I think that was on a different one I had saved temporarily before I realized it was causing issues and due to being stupidly big (was like 700,000 entries) and for some reason the only way I could then edit it was in safemode (works normally now through notepad in admin mode). So I just want to check is it just because of the size of my hosts file? Or could there be some setting I chose in Firefox that is causing it to have to totally recheck the DNS/hosts file when new things are encountered? I do intend soon to run pi hole and unbound off of a pi style device, but that is still a little bit away whilst I actually decide what device I want to purchase and so I would prefer to see if I can improve my current situation or at least make sure that it is normal. Thanks all for any assistance.

I have setup LanCache on a Ubuntu 20.04 system following the documentation on their website and a YouTube tutorial from BattleNonSense. I can see the docker of lancace_monolithic_1 and lancache_dns_1 running with "sudo docker stats". I set a static IP, outside of my routers DHCP range, on the Ubuntu system and set this IP as the DNS in Windows. The .env and docker-compose.yml files are configured to this settings. See below for my config files and screenshots of the IP and DNS settings. ipconfig /flushdns nslookup steam.cache.lancache.net nslookup lancache.steamcontent.com After i tried this in Windows, it still returned Steam's IPs not 192.168.178.10 from the Ubuntu system. I set the DNS in my router before, It didn't change anything and I prefer to set it in Windows. Do i have to do anything related to the ports in my system? I had synergy installed, to share mouse and keyboard, but removed it incase it messed with the network or ports for LanCache. I beleive synergy also uses port 443. Here is the content of my .env file: And my docker-compose.yml
