Pihole and DNS requests (self.eero)

Not sure if this ever got solved, but I’m running Pihole on my network and eero for gateway, routing, Wi-Fi, and dhcp functions. The gateway address (i.e. 192.168.0.1) is the only one that shows up in the pihole logs.

I have DNS Caching off on my eero configuration, and I’ve got conditional forwarding on on the pihole config.

Anything else I can do to have the individual IPs actually make requests to the pihole without being intercepted by the eero?

Interesting. It has never occurred to me either. Seeing as how newer eeros don't have the option and it looks like even Apple isn't really supporting it anymore, I might disable that too.

Ah. I’ve got 5s. Didn’t realize it was abandoned tech, so I feel even better about it. I’ll just have to start taking more softly around my lightbulbs.

Yeah, starting with the latest models. The 6E Pro and 6 Plus I think. Will have to turn it off this weekend and see if that fixes my issue.
