Comment on Uncomplicated firewall rule set for a *arr stack.
TCB13@lemmy.world 4 months agoDid you care to understand why at least? @farcaller@fstab.sh @Fedegenerate@lemmynsfw.com the reason you were getting more ads was simple. If the ISP router was running DHCP and IPv6 then your computers and phones connected to the network would get their IP addresses from it and also the ISP DNS servers (or router IP) completely bypassing your pi-hole.

Ah, I knew it was bypassing the pi-hole, I thought it was IPv6. I think I made the mistake of changing more than one thing at once, what I did worked and I moved on to the next functionality I was chasing. I’ll try enabling IPv6 on the pihole, I know at least if I get Ads with it on its not IPv6.

It’s both the IPv4 and IPv6 DHCP… both of them will provide your machines with ISP DNS servers / gateway so you’ll bypass your pi-hole. Since most operating systems will prefer to use IPv6 over IPv4 if you enable IPv6 you’ll most likely get ANY ad from any company that runs on IPv6 (most likely everyone).
