Diversion Best way to remove Diversion

[Ripshod]

Diversion has always been an essential tool for my network - until now. There's nothing wrong, just I've now installed pi-hole on my server and have it set up and running perfect. Diversion is now superfluous to my setup and as such is disabled.
What's the cleanest way to remove it?

Uninstall from menu (d, 6 from within Diversion).

This must be pretty clean:

Uninstall - Diversion

Wow! So simple I missed it. I even went into that menu option to disable it and still never saw the "Remove" option
Thanks guys.

After running pi-hole for a while, do you think there would be any long term downsides to run it on the router itself using the recent Entware port of pi-hole?

It's not like there is internet if the router is down, LOL.

I honestly don't know. My personal reason for the move to my server was simply to take a little load off the router. Pi-hole is there and it works is all I can say.

I could probably set up PiHole on a mini-server in my sleep! I've been following the thread on these forums about running PiHole on the router, and it definitely seems to be much more faff. Maybe in the next incarnation of my home network, if that happens to on the Banana Pi R4 pro - or similar - I'll run PiHole on the router....

It actually not that bad for PiHole on the router - there were some teething pains, but that's done now.

The goal is to reduce the number of stand alone devices, that's it.

Forgot to add - with PiHole on router all DNS queries can be directed to it via DNS director, and the devices show up as proper IPs.

If it's a separate PiHole, and the router is forwarding DNS requests to it, then everything shows up as coming from the router itself, not the client. So it's way less convenient.

That's wrong. Every device that's redirected to my pi-hole server is logged within pi-hole by it' s MAC and IP. You've just go to know where.

OK, where?

A doubter. How refreshing.
On the "Clients" tab there's a drop-down list that shows every device querying pi-hole for dns but isn't registered. I'd have a lot more in the drop-down if I hadn't already added my devices to the "configured clients" list at the bottom.
