ANSWERED adding local pihole server to wireguard conf file

Recommended Posts

How would I add my local pihole dns to the wireguard config file thats generated in the client area? This config would only be used on my home network as pihole isn't setup to be used outside of it.

I tried just editing the DNS to point to the pihole DNS but I cannot access the web when I do that.

If you are on a Linux system, add the line
PostUp = ip rule add to $PIHOLE_ADDRESS lookup main

in the [Interface] section of the Wireguard conf, in addition to changing the DNS like you were already doing.

Substitute $PIHOLE_ADDRESS with whatever the real IP address of your PIHOLE is.

For example, if your PIHOLE is at 192.168.22.5, then add
PostUp = ip rule add to 192.168.22.5 lookup main
