Will this let me make gwifi set DNS for dhcp clients to its' custom DNS? #33
Comments
EDIT 2/4/2019:These steps have now been automated on my fork https://github.com/Geczy/galeforce #9 # Advertise Pi-hole’s IP address via dnsmasq in the router This is the preferred method as stated by pi-hole's wiki It's pretty simple, follow my guide below. This essentially follows the setup instructions from here, method 2. The Gwifi app disables configuring dnsmasq, but once you're rooted you can modify it manually through ssh. Features
Requirements
Guidessh root@192.168.86.1 # login to the router as root
cp /etc/init/dnsmasq.conf /usr/local/galeforce/data # save a backup
vi /etc/init/dnsmasq.conf # modify the original
## after making the modifications listed below:
sudo reboot # reboot AFTER mods Find each of these lines: dhcp-option=${LAN_BRIDGE},6,${SETTING_BRIDGE_ADDRESS}
dhcp-option=${GUEST_BRIDGE},6,${SETTING_GUEST_BRIDGE_ADDRESS}
dhcp-option=${SETUP_LAN_BRIDGE},6,${SETTING_SETUP_LAN_ADDRESS} Replace each line, where 192.168.86.XX is your raspberry pi's IP address dhcp-option=${LAN_BRIDGE},6,192.168.86.XX
dhcp-option=${GUEST_BRIDGE},6,192.168.86.XX
dhcp-option=${SETUP_LAN_BRIDGE},6,192.168.86.XX ScreenshotsPi-hole client list Mesh works Clients are shown |
Is there a way to get the device names set in GWIFI app (or hostnames) to show up instead of or in addition to IPs? |
yes |
How? |
@Geczy ping |
What I do is export it from my hosts file from gwifi, and import it to the ssh of pi manually. If you want to know which file let me know and I can check |
Thank you, if you could please @Geczy Is this even still possible though - I have followed the instructions and my device doesn't start blinking orange after holding reset. So kind of a problem on step one...:/ Edit: I got it to go into dev mode. Steps 3 and 4 in the readme should be reversed. |
Is this still a viable options to get Pihole working with GWifi? |
This with that latest gwifi update bricked my puck. This also seems like a dead project so I'd be careful. |
Thanks. I'll continue using the Pihole as the DHCP sever although it seems my PC stop showing up in GWifi. |
Strange because @Geczy just updated his post recently...Are you still able to get into ssh? |
So, this was closed....this is specifically why I looked for Galeforce. I want to use it to put my Gwifi behind Pfsense, but I sure as hell don't want to brick my whole network in the process. Any confirmation this works would be immensely appreciated. |
Not so much an issue, as a general question. I'm using pihole software to filter ads. With the way gwifi is today, I added pihole's IP as the first DNS entry. Apparently gwifi still hands out 192.168.86.1 as the DNS to DHCP clients instead of pihole's IP. Is this something that can be fixed if I root it?
[EDIT]
I should note that, yes I do know that pihole will still work, however, I will only see one IP (that of gwifi) in the dashboard, instead of seeing all individual client IP's that ask for DNS requests.
