Pihole 6 broke my DNS (dnsmasq), and since I had a fw rule in opnsense to only use pihole's DNS, and deny public DNS access, it was an early rise for me :)
And that's why you have either a backup for your DNS or know whats auto-updated ;)
As you mention opnsense:
What do you mean with fw rules to only use pihole dns?
This sounds partly like a DHCP config and partly like a deny (hardcoded) DNS requests and to please use what DHCP supplied (looking at you google/amazon)
I did have backups, it was an easy fix. I had a
pihole -upon a crontab for years, probably not the best idea :)FW rule accept :53 from pihole only, deny :53 from all. I had some devices with hardcored DNS settings (8.8.8.8).
Damn... DNS issue early in the morning... What a nightmare ๐! Hope you got enough caffeine.
