Re: DynDNS set to 127.0.0.1

I double checked the syntax, I'm confident it was ok. But the 'funny' thing is, since I removed the block in pi-hole for aruljohn and tracemyip I have not had outages anymore! I am running 1.14 on an Archer C7 v2. I just reinstalled the logread plugin and this entire day there have been no outages, ...

Re: DynDNS set to 127.0.0.1

Ok, got it working again by doing a reset, hard setting my ip to 192.168.1.10 and connecting to 192.168.1.1 and restoring settings.

But... that still leaves me with the original problem: aruljohn and tracemyip.

I will not be editing /etc/config/dhcp anymore.

What else can there be done?

Re: DynDNS set to 127.0.0.1

Typing this while hotspotting via my phone using data connection. I did what you said, removed the block from pi-hole and added the entry to the dhcp file. Pinged aruljohn, had no problem pinging it! The change in dhcp file was clearly not picked up. Thought maybe the router needed a reboot, so did ...

Re: DynDNS set to 127.0.0.1

Did ewget for both aruljohn and tracemyip and apart from the timestamp that differs slightly they are the same: <!DOCTYPE html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge"> <meta name="description" content="Gargoyle ...

Re: DynDNS set to 127.0.0.1

Sorry, I must have missed your first question. My setup: fibre->ONT->ISP supplied modem/router (192.168.1.1)->Gargoyle router->all network devices The USP supplied modem/router I can't do without as it supplies 'landline' phone connection. It does not have WiFi on, it does not have DHCP enabled, it'...

Re: DynDNS set to 127.0.0.1

Bump. Getting really frustrated now. I have blacklisted aruljohn.com and www.tracemyip.org in my pi-hole. If I nslookup them I get 0.0.0.0, so the blacklist works. Gargoyle is configured to use pi-hole as the DNS server. I expect gargoyle, when it does a nslookup and that nslookup fails (for example...

Re: DynDNS set to 127.0.0.1

Part of the log file below, for privacy I have renamed my domain and actual IP address. It is consistently tracemyip.org and aruljohn that fail, all others work fine. What I don't understand is why aruljohn is listed here anyway as I have blocked that in pi-hole. How can I completely ban the router ...

DynDNS set to 127.0.0.1

My setup: Gargoyle Router (1.14) and running pi-hole as my DNS server. Occasionally when I try to ping mydomain.com I get 127.0.0.1 as result, meaning that none of the services I run are reachable. I use DynDNS to update my domain's IP if it's changed. Gargoyle must mistakenly occasionally think my ...

Re: 1.14 no wireless, brick when going back?

Oh, and if I reboot the router, will I have to disable bwmon again or will it stay off now?

Re: 1.14 no wireless, brick when going back?

Thanks, that made a difference. From 120 up to 175. Unfortunately Still not the 200 I was used to. In fact what I should be getting from my ISP is 500/100. Can you recommend a modern router (as in: for sale in shops now) that can run the latest Gargoyle and that would be fast enough to actually get ...
