ArchLinux Pi-hole is not officially supported by Pi-hole project. In case of bugs and malfunctions please DO NOT file a report upstream.

First of all check if the wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pi-hole) can help then ask here for assistance and tips.
When it will be excluded that the problem does not depend on ArchLinux we will file a bug upstream.

same issues as in pi-hole-ftl, the raw.github.com/max72bra/... links in the PKGBUILD need instead to be raw.githubusercontent.com/max72bra/...

yes it is! "our" 01-pihole.conf is without dns server and populated during first install. upstream do the same with their install script.

i never replace conf files with .pacnew ones without a check. it's better to "human" merge them with diff like applications.

glad you solved and thanks for reporting.

@erkexzcx

dnsmasq doesn't do encrypted dns (of any type) only straight udp/tcp port 53.

You would need to use something else (dnscrypt-proxy) for the service of encrypted dns.

I would also recommend quad9 vs cloudflare, but you should do you own homework for your own reasons..

And this would be a forum thing (imho) rather than a package discussion..

My 0.02

So basically what I've done was "mv /etc/dnsmasq.d/01-pihole.conf.pacnew /etc/dnsmasq.d/01-pihole.conf" and rebooted (I think). It stopped working.

Now I just executed "pihole -a setdns 8.8.8.8" and settings were overridden in pi-hole. Everything started to work fine.

But because I was using cloudflared DOH DNS service on my computer - I might guess it is the root cause, but it is not - I went to pi-hole settings and put cloudflared settings (they are "127.0.0.1#5053") and once again everything works.

So probably the root cause was messing with "/etc/dnsmasq.d/01-pihole.conf.pacnew"... :)

Sure thing. Will check!

@erkexzcx oh, about wiki changes: as stated above the server package is not officially upstream supported as the standalone version is.

max.bra commented on 2019-02-12 08:42 (UTC)

@erkexzcx rev. 3 changes cannot lead to DNS resolution loss. i recommend you to check your .pacnew files and this (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pi-hole#/etc/hosts)

Looks like pi-hole-server 4.2.1-3 no longer works as DNS server. pi-hole-server 4.2.1-2 worked fine. Now my DNS queries are not being resolved by Pi-Hole.

@Taijian yes, it was a forgetfulness!! thanks for reporting.

Looking at this package again and checking against the 'official' changelog for 4.2, I noticed that the fix for the wpad vulnerability included in v4.2+ is not included in this package because you opted to not ship the 01-pihole.conf file included with the upstream package but instead replace it with your homebrew version 'dnsmasq.include', which hasn't been updated with this fix. Is there a reason for this that I'm just not seeing, or is this an oversight?
