    DNS filter with fallback

    Ok, that makes a bit more sense now. If I could get away with not using the DNSFilter I would, but hard coded DNS records are forcing the hand there. Thank you both for the help, adding the router to the custom entry is working perfectly.

    DNS filter with fallback

    @ColinTaylor definitely not working on my network. Tested on 2 devices (macOS and Windows) and 2 browsers. Disabled the DNS on 192.168.1.12 Confirmed devices have DNS records set (both show 192.168.1.12 and 192.168.1.1) Browsing to dnsleaktest.com on primary browser fails Browsing to...

    DNS filter with fallback

    Yup, advertise routers IP is selected. Clients are showing 192.168.1.12 and 192.168.1.1 in the DNS list. For testing, I take the primary DNS server (192.168.1.12) offline and the clients fail to resolve. Dig times out but I can still ping a server directly.

    DNS filter with fallback

    So I tried your suggestion @ColinTaylor and it doesn't seem to be working. WAN: Connect to DNS Server automatically: No DNS Server1: 9.9.9.9 DNS Server2: blank LAN - DHCP Server: DNS Server1: 192.168.1.12 DNS Server 2: blank LAN - DNSFilter: Enable DNS-based Filtering: On Global filter mode...

    DNS filter with fallback

    Thanks for that. I'll give it a try and see if that solves the problem for me.

    DNS filter with fallback

    Yeah, I have the gear to do that and will go down that route if I have to. I was more asking the question because I wanted to know if there was a way around this issue that I missed during the configuration, rather than immediately jumping to adding more complexity to my network.

    DNS filter with fallback

    Yeah, the router is the DHCP server and the pihole is on a static address. I'm not quite clear how the pihole forwarding to the router helps here? If the pihole is dead then we're still unable to resolve queries?

    DNS filter with fallback

    I forgot to add my config, so edited the post. Right now we have filtering on and set to use the Router then the pihole has an exception in the client list. The Router has the local and external IP's set as primary and secondary as I had hoped the router would forward to one or the other as...

    DNS filter with fallback

    Hi all, Does anyone have a recommended way to have a fallback DNS server setup? For background, we have a pihole on our network that serves up all our DNS queries and does its ad blocking thing. Forcing all DNS to go there is great but, every now and then, the pihole fails or needs to be taken...
