You need to ask here: https://github.com/pi-hole/docker-pi-hole I only did a simple template

What you are seeing is normal. You can instead change the DHCP server in your router to hand out piholes IP as the dns server and then you will see the clients IP. (or just use pihole as the dhcp server)

Yes, the Linux server guys had a look at it. It just needs a template as the docker is already built (like pihole)

yes - it works well in this way... My settings are here (pihole on 192.168.1.24) pihole network settings

apologies - you may be right if you only have one network adaptor..... I have two in my system.

Yes - if you have openvpn installed, you can look at admin panel (I tested it). If you want to block advertisements whilst remote, you will need to look at routing all traffic over vpn and that your dns is pointing to pihole.

I didnt write pihole - just the template so that unraid users could install it .... Can you ask the authors here: https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/issues

New PiHole docker has been released.... looks nice!

Looking on the PiHole docker site, they elected not to include it in PiHole as standard. I would suggest an easier way would be to use the Cloudflared docker container and point the dns output from PiHole to go there. Let me know if you need help.

unless you set the vpn to use pihole, it will use another dns.

You should be able to turn off Dhcp on the WAN side to do this. Also look at ddwrt software for it. https://wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Netgear_WNDR3700

You can set the router to point to pihole.... that isn't a problem. If you do this, set the unraid IP settings manually to point to external DNS server

Yes - how to fix.... Your unRaid is probably looping back through pihole.... on network settings, set a fixed ip, gateway and dns server.

maybe you have your data volume set up wrong? copy your flows out and save in a text file, delete/update container (check directories) and reinstall flows if needed...

can you try this: In the appdata directory/dsnmasq.d/02-custom-LAN.conf file, it refers to adding hosts to appdata directory/pihole/custom-LAN.list file. You will need to create it if not there..... Let me know...
