    Constant unwanted traffic to dns.msftncsi.com from RT-AC66U

    I don't use dual wan. Okay so imma just use cloudflare as my wan DNS. It no longer clogs my pihole ofc. My next question so I can wrap my head around this the dhcp server dishing out my pihole as a DNS bypasses the wan DNS? As would me setting the dhcp static to cloudflare? As in it doesn't go...

    Constant unwanted traffic to dns.msftncsi.com from RT-AC66U

    I think I was misunderstanding. So if I set it to lan in the dhcp the devices use the pihole DNS I understand that part but the router itself before it gets wan from my ISP isn't being filtered right? Wouldn't it be better from a security and performance perspective to use a custom DNS vs my isps?

    Pardon my ignorance but the router says "Assign a DNS service to improve security, block advertisement and gain faster performance." And gives options similar to a pihole for instance to block ads etc network wide? Wouldn't I prefer to do that before the router vs after?

    I didn't quote respond to them did I? So once per minute is clogging up my pihole log like others have said, that's not really the core issue here. The router constantly doing this when I personally don't want it to and have told it not to, is the issue, since it shouldn't be doing it. Id...

    Constant unwanted traffic to dns.msftncsi.com from RT-AC66U

    Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me. I am also getting the same issue. I have changed the nvram parameters, and also edited the registry on the windows machine and also changed the hosts file to go to 0.0.0.0, yet my pihole log is pinging this domain once every minute.
