Pi-hole FTL offline

harbhim · 6 October 2020 22:57

I installed pi-hole(server) of AUR but it showing pihole-FTL offline. I tried,
1.Disabling Port 53 by disabling systemd-resolved as in Arch wiki.
2.Reinstalling it.
3.Restarting pihole-FTL
4.Checking Port 53 listening status
5.Removing front '#' signs from pihole-FTL.conf file.

but anything is not working.

The command outputs are:

1.    pihole -c
    |¯¯¯(¯)_|¯|_  ___|¯|___        Core: version is

I want to ask only that my dns settings needs to change or not!!!!!!! and want to ask @SGS that which version of pihole are you using AUR or snap or other.

SGS · 6 October 2020 23:49

No problem, ask.

other, it is Ubuntu , but I will upgrade now to ‘20.04.1 LTS’

harbhim · 6 October 2020 23:51

Thank you @SGS

SGS · 6 October 2020 23:55

I just think you will get better and faster answers in the pi-hole forum than here.

Since it works for me and I didn't have any problems with the installation, I don't remember the procedure, sorry.

dr460nf1r3 · 7 October 2020 06:35

If you want adblocking you can also use our welcome app to enable it, no need to run a pihole (unless there is a specific use case ofc)

harbhim · 7 October 2020 16:25

Enabling Adguard DNS is not working for me.

dr460nf1r3 · 7 October 2020 16:40

For me it does. You can check here if it does for you, last option.

harbhim · 7 October 2020 19:25

yes it is showing adguard dns status active but it can't even block the ads from youtube(trying chromium browser).

dr460nf1r3 · 7 October 2020 21:22

Well then. Isnt Ublock sufficient for this?

harbhim · 8 October 2020 00:11

Yes, it is sufficient but I was looking for sytemwide ad-blocker. So I don't need any saperate ad blocker for all saperate browsers.
