![]() ![]() I’m not a fan of applications like Pi-hole because Ad blocking software is leading to ‘the slow death of niches’ like my website. □ Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest version of Pi-Hole v5.17.1 and DSM 7.2 Pi-Hole has the ability to block traditional website adverts as well as adverts in unconventional places, such as smart TVs and mobile operating system adverts. It is designed for use on embedded devices with network capability, such as the Raspberry Pi, but it can be used on other machines running Linux like Synology NAS and cloud implementations. What is a DNS sinkhole? A DNS sinkhole, also known as a sinkhole server, Internet sinkhole, or Blackhole DNS is a DNS server that gives out false information, to prevent the use of a domain name. ![]() I found a similar issue had previously been open on Pi-hole GitHub repository, but no solution provided.Īs I couldn’t find any fix for this problem, I posted the issue to the Synology Community forums, but that didn’t provide a solution either…Īt this stage, I tried comparing the Docker iptables on my Synology NAS with the ones in a Raspberry Pi, and that’s when I noticed that the Docker pre-routing rules were missing.Pi-Hole is a Linux network-level advertisement and Internet tracker blocking application which acts as a DNS sinkhole (and, optionally, a DHCP server), intended for use on a private network. There was however a small issue: the IP of the client machine was not showing up! AdGuard Home Docker container not showing the client IPs I recently tried running an AdGuard Home Docker container and with no surprise, it worked perfectly after setting the NAS IP as the DNS server in my router, all my local DNS requests were sent to AdGuard Home and I could see it doing its job of blocking any known advertisement or tracking hosts. It’s a great NAS, but it’s the extra features like being able to easily run Docker containers that makes me like it even more! I have a DS412+ Synology NAS that’s been running continuously for a few years now! ![]()
