Hi there, I’ve just done the switch from NextDNS to PiHole. Simply because I want to test it out + self-host my DNS. I set up PiHole+Unbound two days ago, and yesterday the amount of “Queries blocked” was much higher that it is now. But this morning the number was down back to 100ish. Is this normal behaviour, is it supposed to reset the counter? I’d rather it didn’t. Let me know if this is my fault or a setting I’ve managed to miss.
Thank you.
No he is saying that many smart devices ignore your DNS (pi-hole) as they hardcoded their DNS address to 8.8.8.8. So it is important to have an additional layer to block at the firewall.
