Nginx pihole and pfsense issue (lemmy.world)

submitted 3 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I have nginx up and working with pihole and its great. I can get to: https://dashy.homelab.duckdns.org/ On my PC but not my phone. On my phone, pfsense blocks it and says "Potential DNS Rebind attack detected, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_rebinding Try accessing the router by IP address instead of by hostname."

Why? I've disconnected and reconnected to WiFi, and waited a day.

The message says it all. DNS rebind means a domain name is pointing back to an internal IP address. You need to make an exception in pfsense for your domain dash.homelab.duckdns.org

This is normal ☝🏻

I don't know the answer to your question, but you can get the functionality of pihole directly in pfsense using pfblocker-ng

Including the local DNS settings? Like mapping my domain to an ip?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I mostly meant the DNS sinkhole functionality that pihole is famous for using to block ads. You wouldn't use pfblocker-ng for domain routing.

Here is a forum post from negate discussing what I think you're looking for.
