Is Pi-hole possible with Telus Boost Wifi 6?
There have not been posts that I could find since 2020 on this issue. I just want to confirm before I buy a new router that it isn't possible to get the Telus Boost Wifi 6 (the cylindrical white thin...
I have gotten Pi-Hole to work consistently now. To do so I had to do the following:
- Disable DHCP on the ONT/NAH
- Enable DHCP on the Pi-hole (making it the LAN DCHP server)
- Add the local address of the Pi-hole as the DNS server on the ONT/NAH in "Local Network"
- Disable IPv6 on the ONT/NAH in "Internet Access"
Given that disabling IPv6 did the trick, I am assuming that was where the DNS leaks were coming from. I don't know what the implication of disabling IPv6 on my network is, but ad blocking seems to be working well.
So I have changed the DNS entry on the ONT/NAH to the Pi-hole's IP Address: 192.168.1.150
Devices seem to pick up this address as their automatically assigned DNS server address. However, ads are still not being blocked network wide. However when I manually assign "192.168.1.150" as the DNS server on each device then ads are blocked. This suggests that there is a DNS leak somewhere in the ONT/NAH. Is there anywhere else in the ONT/NAH settings that I must ensure that the DNS is changed?
