Install
pacaur -S pi-hole-standalonesudo systemctl start pi-hole-gravity.timer sudo journalctl -f -u pi-hole-gravity.timer # wait approx 1min for update # alternatively /usr/bin/pihole updateGravityFree port 53
You'll also need to start
pihole-FTL.service
, which listens on port53
.
If this port is already occupied, you'll need to free it.
# is port 53 in use? netstat -an | grep ':53' # try identifying program using it lsof -i :53systemd-resolvd
systemd-resolved.service
may be using port-53.
If this is the case, disable the stub listener.# /etc/systemd/resolved.conf [Resolve] DNSStubListener=noDNS with pihole
Configure your network manager so that it uses 127.0.0.1 as it's DNS server.
NOTE:
Before changing your nameserver, be sure to test queries using
host google.com 127.0.0.1
.
If this does not work, apparently your router may have rebind protection enabled.troubleshooting
tail -f /run/log/pihole/pihole.log # lists nameservers, hosts, interfaces ... # confirm server is listening netstat -ln46 | grep :53 # confirm there is a route for DNS queries to be performed netstat -r # show routing table # test DNS resolution host google.com 127.0.0.1 # with 'host' drill @127.0.0.1 A google.com # with 'drill'
NetworkManager
NetworkManager also runs an instance of dnsmasq.
You'll need to disable it to use pi-hole.# /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf [Main] dns=noneConfigure NetworkManager to use pihole.
nmcli con # list all connections nmcli con mod <connectionName> ipv4.dns "127.0.0.1" nmcli con mod <connectionName> ipv4.ignore-auto-dns yes sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service
netctl

Confirm Working
pihole status # confirm pihole DNS is started cat /etc/resolv.conf # only nameserver should be 127.0.0.1
