Pi-Hole

Pi-Hole DNS Server.

Migrated to ansible collection

Use r_pufky.srv.pihole.

Setup

Clients will send DNS requests to Pi-Hole. Pi-Hole will either block, resolve or forward those requests to the router. The router will be able to resolve local DNS names and forward remaining unknown queries to upstream DNS servers.

Optionally, if the router supports destination NAT, all DNS traffic will be routed directly to Pi-Hole. This catches hard-coded DNS servers that many phone apps, IoT devices, and applications use.

1. Router upstream DNS servers set to 1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8.
2. Router DHCP Assigns Pi-Hole as primary DNS server for clients.
3. Router uses Destination NAT - DNAT to force all DNS requests to Pi-Hole (optional).
4. Pi-Hole upstream DNS server set to router.
