[@vickylance]

Can you tell me what ports should I expose for pihole to work when I have ufw firewall enabled?

[@SV-lw8jo]

Thank you for the explanation. Do you have any guide on how to implement that with pfSense?

[@ElastiCourse]

Just get the DNS server running as per the video, then modify pfsense DHCP server settings > DNS Server > Put the server IP address

I still get youtube ads on my LG TV

[@pbrigham]

Yes I did that, but the resolve time went from 5ms to 50 and more milliseconds with Unbound making my internet slower.

[@ElastiCourse]

You may need to optimize your networking if you want better response time, Pi-Hole standalone usually responds to me in 15-25ms, 50ms is not very bad also but it could be better

The true cost of privacy is usually speed.

[@chemicle]

@@johnconnorstopskynet Initial queries are going to slow down until your piehole captures where to recursively check the sites - future queries should be fast because the DSN will be resolved by your own machine.

Hi, i’m running docker+pihole on win 10, How i can install Unbound on win 10 please.

[@ElastiCourse]

If you prefer to use Docker you can also use this Docker Hub image to host unbound as a container
hub.docker.com/r/mvance/unbound
Otherwise, if you prefer to use Windows Native application you can use the Unbound Windows Installer (.exe) from this link
