Periodic DNS queries for fedoraproject.org

Imagen
 A while back I decided to install Fedora in my old Laptop Gateway M-6806m and used it to test random things like Grafana, Docker, etc.   In the last weeks pi-hole was installed to test it as a docker container instead of the installation done in my Raspeberry Pi 2 Model B , for that I used instead the Gateway laptop.   So, it was really strange to see "fedoraproject.org" in the pi-hole section "Top Permited Domains" Ater a fast search with qwant.com found the answer in Reddit with the same question so, I'm keeping a copy of the answer here for my self (and you) 'cause I don't see the point to keep "asking" the DNS sever about that domain name even when I randomly use this laptop. r/Fedora 1 yr. ago unconcious_insomnia Question: How to stop periodic DNS queries for fedoraproject.org Was just looking at DNS logs while nothing is running.

AdGuard Home instead of pi-hole with a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B

In the last days/weeks I'm seeing people talking about "AdGuard" instead of "pi-hole" so I decided to give it a try. These are the steps I followed to install it using the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B where I have pi-hole running at the moment. First, stop/disable pi-hole: pi@localhost:~ $ pihole disable   [i] Disabling blocking   [✓] Reloading DNS service   [✓] Pi-hole Disabled pi@localhost:~ $ sudo systemctl stop lighttpd pi@localhost:~ $ sudo systemctl disable lighttpd Synchronizing state of lighttpd.service with SysV service script with /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install. Executing: /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install disable lighttpd pi@localhost:~ $ sudo pihole disable   [i] Blocking already disabled, nothing to do pi@localhost:~ $ sudo systemctl stop pihole-FTL pi@localhost:~ $ sudo systemctl disable pihole-FTL pihole-FTL.service is not a native service, redirecting to systemd-sysv-install.

Trying pi-hole to block ads, trackers and more.

Imagen
In the last months I've been using pi-hole to block ads/trackers/etc, here's a guide based on the official document and examples found on different sites/blogs. I'm using a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B along with raspbian  - Download/install/configure pi-hole # curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash The installation script runs and you'll be shown the following: "This installer will transform your device into a network-wide ad blocker! " The next step requires you to provide the DNS upstream servers, consider using the Cloudfare DNS servers 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1  or the DNS server you want. The installation is done and you should get the message: Installation Complete! The next steps depends on your home network configuration, on your router find the section where you set the DNS server and use the ip address that you configured for pi-hole. Now, open your favorite web browser and point it to the ip address assigned to the h...
