Warning: When you use debug mode

pihole -d

a lot of data from you network and sites you are visiting WAS put up on

http://termbin.com/[4 digit hash]

This is NOT the case anymore, the issue is fixed
Be warned for other applications. This is not the first time we have encountered this behavior

This is based on Pi-hole Core v5.2.4

Run

apt-get update
or
aptitude

to update the package list and install updates

Before running the install script the following programs should be installed manually since they are dependencies for which Pi-hole will check. By installing them before running the Pi-hole install script answering questions during the install by Pi-hole is avoided
So run as root:

aptitude --verbose --log-level=info --log-file=$HOME/pi-hole.installer.log install git iproute newt procps-ng which chkconfig bind-utils

aptitude --verbose --log-level=info --log-file=$HOME/pi-hole.dependencies.log install cronie curl findutils nmap-ncat sudo unzip libidn2 psmisc sqlite libcap lsof

aptitude --verbose --log-level=info --log-file=$HOME/pi-hole.web-dependencies.log install lighttpd lighttpd-fastcgi php-common php-cli php-pdo php-xml php-json php-intl

wget --inet4-only --tries=3 --quiet --no-proxy --output-document=$HOME/pi-hole-basic-install.sh https://install.pi-hole.net

Edit pi-hole-basic-install.sh and remove (or move and comment out) the DNS servers you do not need from the DNS_SERVERS variable list. When done save and close pi-hole-basic-install.sh Make sure the script is execuable

chmod 740 $HOME/pi-hole-basic-install.sh

$HOME/pi-hole-basic-install.sh

If you have multiple networkcards in your computer you maybe can find the one to use by Pi-hole with ifconfig (look at the amount of data transfered) probably without any issues

As root do

pihole -up

Notice: If there is no secure connection omit, delete, the 's' in 'https'

http://192.168.x.y/admin
or
http://www.pi.hole/admin

To block all domains do

• Login to the webinterface
• Click in the “RegEx filter” tab
• In the “Regular Expression” box enter “*” (a star (Shift 8))
• If needed, it is advised, you can enter a discription in the “Comment” box
• Press the blue “Add to Blacklist” button
• If needed you can disable (and later re-enable the entry) in the status column in the “List of blacklisted entries” section

Example: Enter a “*” to block everything. The comment can be something like “Block everything”

In Adlists enter the location of the adlist to be added and click on Add. This might not work

file:///home/user/Downloads/Someadlist.json

1. If a Teleporter file is received run: tar xf teleporterfile.tar.gz
2. Open adlist.json in a webbrowser. Maybe wait a bit for the file being processed
3. Save the page as adlist.json.txt
4. grep address adlist.json.txt | tr -d '\n' | tr -d \“ | tr '\t' ' '
5. Scrape all the url's from the screen
6. Past in the “Add a new adlist” “Address:” field on the http://someIP/admin/groups-adlists.php page
7. Click on the Add button

/etc/.pihole
/etc/pihole
/var/www/html/custom_disable_timer (When disabling pi-hole using the web interface
                                    a timing file is generated (custom_disable_timer)
                                    in the www-root directory.)

In /etc/nftables.conf on the server add, change to something like:

define tcp_services = { ssh, 22, http, 80 }
udp dport { 53 } ip saddr SomeIPaddress accept; # DNS
tcp dport { 80 } ip saddr SomeIPaddress accept; # WWW

For UFW on the server make sure

 ufw status verbose

shows at least, if you use the 192.168 range, (xxx some value from 0 to 255)

To           
              Action      From
--                           ------      ----
192.168.xxx.0/24 53/udp      ALLOW IN    192.168.xxx.0/24
192.168.xxx.0/24 80/tcp      ALLOW IN    192.168.xxx.0/24

Default Pi-hole 5 comes with the hosts list from Steven Black

The adlists are stored in /etc/pihole
To add more items

• Paste the contents of this space separated file (Select all the links CTRL-C CTRL-V) into the “Address:” field on the “Adlist group management” pages (admin/groups-adlists.php) to have 68 lists added
• Click on the blue “Add” button on the right. A green list appears. Click on the X in the upper right corner
• The new entries show up with a in front of them. This means that they need updating.
• To update, in the left column click on Tools > Update Gravity
  • This takes a while

Data from Filterlists can be used to add more lists to the Adlist filterlists.com

As an alternative you can use the Pi-hole adlist tool on Github

In the case of a local file, the format would be file:///file-location¹⁾
Example:

file:///home/pi/adlist.list

When not all domainnames resolve and you get when testing with nslookup www.example.com
** server can't find www.example.com: SERVFAIL
then check on http://[IP_of_your_PiholeComputer]/admin/settings.php?tab=dns under Advanced DNS settings if you have turned DSNSEC on. If so, check if your upstream DSNserver, router, supports DNSSEC. If not or in doubt, change the DNS server stetting of Pihole

Change on http://[IP_of_your_PiholeComputer]/admin/settings.php?tab=dns under Upstream DNS Servers the servers to a server of which you are sure they support DNSSEC if you still want to your DNSSEC. If so also make sure DNSSEC is turned on in het Advanced DNS settings chapter on the same page

### Versions Pi-hole version is v5.3.1 (Latest: v5.3.1) AdminLTE version is v5.5 (Latest: v5.5) FTL version is v5.8.1 (Latest: v5.8.1)

### Platform - OS and version: Debian 10 Buster - Platform: Desktop PC

### Expected behavior _A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen._

### Actual behavior / bug _A clear and concise description of what the bug is._ In admin/db_queries.php: “Specify date range to be queried from the Pi-hole query database” I want to select one day. Say 15 May 10:00 until 16 May 10:00. So on the left side I click on May and then 15. Then I click on the right side (June is selected) on May. Now May on the left side switches to April. The date and time do not change. So the period seems not to be shorter then one month.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to '…' 2. Click on '….' 3. Scroll down to '….' 4. See error
