ArchLinux Pi-hole is not officially supported by Pi-hole project. In case of bugs and malfunctions please DO NOT file a report upstream.

First of all check if the wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pi-hole) can help then ask here for assistance and tips.
When it will be excluded that the problem does not depend on ArchLinux we will file a bug upstream.

@trainzkid: I have disabled rate limiting as well from settings > DNS > rate-limiting (put 0). As I do a lot with ogc API queries on local network then use this same kind of requests over internet, it's annoying to have a device blocked due to number of queries

Can confirm with @deemon, steam does do an insane amount of DNS queries, I've had steam cause my desktop to get blocked from pihole DNS quite a few times before. I've never had it block others though, only my desktop, so I never really think too much of it and it fixes itself after a little while. Definitely not great but not pihole's fault.

I have wondered how to set up some sort of caching for steam at the server side, just haven't figured out how yet.

Can confirm deleting the the ~/.cache/yay folder fixes NoIdea's issue.

hi NoIdea, seems to be everything ok here. please try to clear your AUR helper cache and give a try.

NoIdea commented on 2024-04-02 18:15 (UTC)

getting the below when trying to upgrade to 5.18.2-1, does PKGBUILD need to be corrected?

ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!

max.bra commented on 2024-01-05 09:16 (UTC)

@deemon ok, understood. And yes, pihole-FTL.conf should deserve more love and for next release I can integrate new options that I surely missing over time.

deemon commented on 2024-01-04 20:43 (UTC)

@max.bra naaa it's alright. it's "working as intended" and "didn't crash" apparently. Which is pi-hole-ftl by default allows 1000/60 (1000 queries per minute) from one single host and if this host exceeds the limit, he will be blocked (for how long I don't know, but blocked), while at the same time working for everyone else still normally. https://docs.pi-hole.net/ftldns/configfile/

Now "my problem" was that I have pi-hole-server (and jellyfin server, and some other stuff) running in my desktop computer for all my home LAN (TV's and phones (wifi connected devices etc)), and when I tried to download steam games the desktop computer itself (while being also pi-hole server at the same time) got blocked from DNS requests. So as a cascade effect, anyone else who was using any of the services (also including DNS requests via pi-hole-server) in the LAN got kind of blocked out of it at the same time somehow (although they themselves were not really blocked by pihole?).

Also "my problem #2" was also that there was nothing about this RATE_LIMIT in the /etc/pihole/pihole-FTL.conf file itself (I assumed all the possible options were there, just commented out, which is not the case at all, if you check the link above - there are TONS of other options apparently), which I discovered couple of days later.

Also checked the logs and apparently Steam, while trying to download stuff, does about 1490 DNS queries per minute, which is way over the default pihole limit. So adding the line RATE_LIMIT=1000/10 to the config file, effectively increasing the limit 6x (just in case), fixed the issue currently.

@deemon or better, are you sure that ftl crash? I manage to understand that... Or simply it cut you out on DNS resolution for a while?

max.bra commented on 2024-01-04 09:42 (UTC)

@deemon ok for the rate limit "unlimiting" but it is a workaround. It is there for security reasons and anyway ftl should not crash on that. Maybe is dnsmasq that explode? Do you have something relevant system log?
