pi-hole

There had been a lot of posts lately concerning remote access to the NAS when hosting Pi-Hole on the NAS with an 'entry' via a custom domain and Cloudflare. It all worked well for me via Cloudflare using a CNAME DNS record to point at my QuickConnect ID on the NAS then using a reverse proxy to...

If you’ve ever configured Pi-hole, you’ll know just how well it works when it comes to blocking ads. However, did you know that you could add Unbound to Pi-hole to function as a recursive DNS server? This allows you to use Unbound to directly reach out to the authoritative servers, increasing...

Does anyone have a step by step on how to configure pi-hole with unbound after the container has already been created? tutorials I have watched indicate this is all done via ssh, but I am unsure how that works, given that my Pi Hole is the same as my NAS IP with port 8181 appended....

Is it fine to run Pi-hole on my NAS or should I rather run it on a Raspberry Pi? Won't it stress the hard drives more on the NAS?

for those that use pi-hole here (i know there are a few). is it possible to configure it it so that it displays a custom "error" page when something is blocked? so that you can tell if something is being blocked by pi-hole or it's just a random DNS error.

As I own the Synology RT2600ac router and I like the Safe Access package there (mainly for the parental control features), I have question: would it be possible to use Safe Access on my router and pi-hole on my NAS (in Docker) in the same time? Would this be possible? If yes, then how to...

Hi, I’ve managed to run AdGuard. Thanks to @Telos mentioned video :) Prior to that, I’ve tried Pi-hole set up to use the host on Docker (not the optimum way). So I played with them both. I was amazed by how much they blocked and how “chatty” our devices are. For those who tried both, why are...

Hello all, I have Pi-hole running great in a docker on my DS916+. Devices at home are successfully using the service and it runs flawlessly, I wish I had realised what I was missing out on sooner. I would like to utilise the benefits of Pi-hole on my Android phone (Note 10+) whilst I'm away...

When I first discovered Pi-Hole I asked myself “where have I been all these years?” You can block ads on every device connected to your network using Pi-Hole. Even mobile phones and tablets. In this short guide, I will show you how to host Pi-Hole on your Synology NAS with the help of Docker...

Has anyone pi-hole run with macvlan driver? I Am using this tutorial, but this seems not to work very well. It always restarts the container. Maybe there's another way to let it work flawlessly in Synology docker.
