The intention was to block malicious sites. When I connect to a network I automatically get the 2 DNS servers via DHCP config.

Each network on the UDM has 2 DNS servers set for DHCP: One pointing to a pihole, one to itself.

Unifi Dream Machine SE as router with different networks.

So it seems to have something to do with my network:

I connected to another network (personal hotspot) - I could resolve using 8.8.8.8!.

I flushed my Mac's DNS caches and just about every DNS cache on my networks machines.

I have used my pi as pihole server or adguard home server previously on all my client machines in the network due to DHCP DNS configuration.īut now that I hardcode google DNS shouldn't I get the correct authoritative answer from Google DNS? For sure Google DNS knows. To resolve the issue I thought it would be enough to set the DNS Server to something like 8.8.8.8 (google) on the wifi interface.īut when doing an nslookup -debug I still get the following answer: Server: 8.8.8.8 I am having issues on a client machine (Mac) accessing different sites, for instance, after having used adguard/pihole in my local network on a raspberry pi.
