Use Pi-hole for LAN devices at home

First of all thank you for your job, I tested connecting to OpenVPN through cell and it's blocking ads.

I'm trying to use Docker Pi-hole as DNS to also block all ads when I navigate from home by LAN without connecting to OpenVPN.

I tried changing DNS on router by setting Pi IP, and also tied to set Dcoker network gateway IP and Pihole docker network IP.

I'm not a network expert, last time I used Pihole (without Docker), I added Pi IP as DNS in router. With Docker, not sure which IP do I need to setup.

It would be great to complete this functionality, blocking all ads also in my home network!.

Thank you again.

Please check the official docker image https://github.com/pi-hole/docker-pi-hole

You have to set the local IP from your Raspberry Pi into your router as the customer DNS Server, then you have network wide blocking of advertising.

Hi @NCGNConsulting

Now I have found a solution, you only must adjust the host port from 553 to 53 and remove the #

And if you restart with docker compose restart you should be able to block also local advertising.

docker-openvpn-pihole/docker-compose.yml

Lines 48 to 49 in 11b96d5

    
           #- "553:53/tcp" 
        
           #- "553:53/udp"

Thank you @mr-bolle. That's perfect!

I will have a look as soon as I can.

Best Regards.
