NordVPN and PiHole DNS hostname issue.

Featured Replies

Alright, so... I think this isn't anything to do with unraid, but as it' that service I can't use... see what you think. 

 

I have two devices. 

1. "qnap1" this runs a container for pihole.

2. "unraid2" this is my new unraid server.

 

My Router performs DHCP - this is configured to use dns from qnap1. On pi-hole, both hostnames have a records in DNS.

My laptop correctly ets its ip address from dhcp on the router, and the router is correctly making my laptop use the pihole dns.

Nslookup confirms this when getting successful connections to both qnap1 and unraid2 hostnames. I can ping both as well.

Until I turn on the NordVPN Windows client and make a connection. Then it gets a bit strange.

On nordvpn, I can still ping qnap1, but not the unraid2. (both time out on their nslookups from pihole incidentally) 

 

The confusion is, as far as I can tell all elements are equal - therefore I should either be able to ping both, or neither. What's going on? Anyone got any ideas for trying to identify the issue? It's worth pointing out I did notice on the nslookups my machine was defaulting to NordVPNs DNS IPs and I thought I'd cracked the issue (despite STILL being able to ping qnap1!) and I added the pihole IP as a custom dns in the client, but unraid1 still doesn't work. I can still access shares on unraid via ip address, but I want to use the hostname (more to fix/understand this problem than anything else!)

 

On a side note, I wanted to move my pihole service over to Unraid, but i'm getting the following error -  

docker: Error response from daemon: driver failed programming external connectivity on endpoint pihole (308e2f603d2e8bc6b9f4bc6c153122eb9fd0306efe5a447a0bd6ca17619bf476): Error starting userland proxy: listen tcp4 0.0.0.0:80: bind: address already in use.

Port 80 is already in use? I ran sudo netstat -tunlp to check and found this... no idea what it is. 

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:80              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      3028/nginx: master 

 

How do I fix this please? I want to run pihole on unraid. Thanks for reading!
