With this in mind, I think it must be a firewall config issue. The PiHole works fine if I manually configure the DNS on a device (eg mobile phone) My guess is that the interface is getting stuck in some sort of unobtainable loop. If I reset then restore a known working backup, the connection issue comes back so it will only work again if I manually rebuild the config/rules again. The only way I have found is to 'reset configuration' and start all over again. The router gets stuck in this loop and will not recover from it. At this point, the connection falls over with a constant repeat of connecting.terminating - unable to obtain IP address.etc I put the PiHole IP into the DNS section under the DHCP server and untick "use peer DNS" on the interface. I'm struggling with routing DNS queries through my PiHole though which is on a static IP of 192.168.1.2 (I use 192.168.1.0/24 for my network). Once you get your head around it, RouterOS is brilliant and Winbox, the tool for managing it, is fantastic.īasic config is easy but I have discovered more than once that it's easy to break things. The Hex S is a very powerful piece of kit with enterprise levels of config for not a lot of money. I've e also taken this route because I have more than a passing interest in networking at work (this isn't my main field of work but I've picked up overall ownership for managing our network support team) so I thought it would be a good opportunity to learn more. As has been said before, the learning curve is near vertical. I was aware of what I was getting into before I started. put my Asus router into AP only mode and replace the router section with a Hex S.
