Had a big spike in my home's internet usage this month and comcast is threatening to charge me extra.
I dont know if the data cap resets on the month or on our billing period, but I want to identify which devices are downloading the most. My linksys router does not have this data available.
Has anyone used #ntopng or #pihole specifically for this?
I have a raspberry pi 2 or 3 I could commit to being a dns server but want to make sure I'm using the correct tool.
Dzień dobry, mam sobie malinkę #raspberrypi jedynka, po kablu, na niej stoi sobie #pihole - chciałbym tam mieć monitor sieci, w sensie sprawdzania downloadu i uploadu, wiecie, czy sieć działa ok, czy mi dostawca w wuja leci
Pomocy, nie wiem co i jak zrobić
P.S. Jak coś to mam też malinkę 4b w najmocniej opcji, jakby trzeba było czegoś mocniejszego
My #PiHole crashed yesterday. First time in 3 years it’s put a foot wrong! And it’s just made me even more impressed with it, this tiny little Pi Zero W handling all the houses traffic. Especially when I’ve got things like MS Teams that needs killing and reopening several times a day
@dazfuller They’re so amazing. I’ve been running our house one on a Pi 1B for more than five years. It’s running off the router’s power via USB, which I love… just like a little symbiote attached to its host 🥰
I’ve got a feeling when it fails it’s going to fail hard though. Have got a Pi Zero doing nothing, so maybe I should prepare that as the backup? 🤔
Put the entire household on the pihole, hope I don't get too many complaints, LOL (maybe overkill for the entire household, but... worth the experiment) #pihole#cybersecurity
@ai6yr I had to undo that :( It was blocking the stupid ads that the stupid free "games" that my youngest was playing on his tablet. I hate those games. But that's a parenting difference here. So I had to disable router-wide pihole use. :(
@ai6yr This is the way. Everything on the network is blocked by default. My stuff is grouped to also block all Meta stuff, another group allows ads for a few devices that need them. Also get a nice app (iOS here, but others or web app I’m sure) to easily poke the api to temporarily disable blocking for troubleshooting- mine offers 1min and 5min.
In den letzten 24 h haben die Geräte bei uns zuhause > 60000 Verbindungen ins Internet gesucht, davon wurden > 21000 (35 %) geblockt, ohne dass wir Einschränkungen hatten. Die waren also völlig nutzlos für uns, aber offenbar sehr interessant für andere da draußen.
The last few days, after almost 3 years, I finally got over myself to re-install our #network, #nas and #pihole and reworked the #backup strategy as well (#encryption and stuff). I am glad that this is finally done. 🫣
My #DNS -level filter went offline for a while, and a bunch of ads and in-page popups jump-scared me! 🤕
Also: I would like to thank services like #PiHole, #DNSForge, & #NextDNS for the great work that they do -- by blocking ads+trackers -- to keep us SANE and SAFE! 😇😇😇
Playing with #Docker and #pihole a bit and... it seems you can't DNS-over-TLS #DOT with it. Whether it is on the forwarders side or the pihole server side. Sounds strange to me and not that far from a NoGo. #DNS experts have an opinion on this (doT) ?
And this, my precious bubble, is why I'm running a #Pihole. (I'm a paying customer with a subscription btw, not trying to dodge away and read for free at all cost.)
