How do I access Pi-hole web interface?

From any locally connected device you will be able to access this Web Interface. Just type in the provided IP Address followed by | /admin | into the URL of any internet browser. In my case I typed | http://192.168.1.188/admin |. It will then request the Pi-Hole Password to access the Web Interface.

Where are Pi-hole settings stored?

/etc/pihole/ This is where most of Pi-hole's config files exist.

What is the default IP for Pi-hole?

Now that you have enabled Pi-hole on the Raspberry Pi, let's go ahead and enable this throughout the entire home network. Login to your router by entering the default username and the password provided by the router manufacturer. Normally the default ip address for a router is 192.168. 1.1 , but it will vary sometimes.

How do I reconfigure my Pi-hole?

To correct this, ensure the 192.168. 0.40 address of the Pi-Hole is statically assigned in the current router. Then, run pihole -r from the command terminal on the Pi-Hole host, and select the reconfiguration option. You will be asked if the currently assigned IP address is the one you want Pi-Hole to use.

Can you use Pi-hole as DNS?

Use Pi-hole as your DNS server

Configure your router's DHCP options to force clients to use Pi-hole as their DNS server, or manually configure each device to use the Pi-hole as their DNS server.

What is Pi-hole DNS?

Pi-hole is a Linux network-level advertisement and Internet tracker blocking application which acts as a DNS sinkhole and optionally a DHCP server, intended for use on a private network.

How do I set local DNS on Pi-hole?

MANAGING Local DNS Records

Select DNS RECORDS. The interface for adding DNS records is straightforward. Enter the local domain you wish to create a record for where it says DOMAIN and the IP address associated with the domain where it says IP ADDRESS then click ADD.

Should I use Pi-hole as DHCP server?

Another case of using Pi-hole DHCP is if you have hairpinning problems (you can't connect to your server because its IP is your public IP, and your router doesn't allow this). In this case, using Pi-hole's dns will allow you to connect to your server by its local address rather than its public address.

How do I set Pi-hole as DNS on my router?

Go to [IPv6] -> [IPv6 DNS Setting], enter Pi-Hole IPv6 IP address on IPv6 DNS server and click [Apply] to save.

Why does Pi-hole need static IP?

Setting up a Static/Reserved IP

For the pi-hole to work properly, it will need an unchanging IP address so that your router and devices know where to find it. If you have never logged into your router, you will need to do so to change these settings.

Can I run Pi-hole on my desktop?

Note. Pi-hole for Windows can be used to block ads and encrypt DNS queries for your local Windows PC or entire network.

Does Pi-hole need a static IP?

Pi-hole needs a static IP address to properly function (a DHCP reservation is just fine).

Is Pi-hole a DHCP server?

Pi-hole is a network-level ad blocker that acts as a DNS layer and possibly a DHCP3 server for use on a private network. It is designed to be installed on embedded devices with network capabilities, such as the Raspberry Pi, but can be used on other machines running GNU/Linux or in virtualised environments.
