The way I've always set mine up (the easy way IMO) is to completely disable DNS and DHCP on the router, then enable DNS and DHCP on the Pi-Hole. (My router won't allow setting custom DNS servers, but it does allow disabling the DNS service entirely). That way, all network devices (after a reboot) au...

The voltage drop over 25' at 5V 3A would be about 1V depending on cable quality and thickness. If it were me, I'd find the American equivalent of this sort of mains cable with a weatherproof socket box on the end of it: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lengths-Weatherproof-Outdoor-Extension-Orange/dp/B07B5T...

In all the configuration files I've seen, the Peer Allowed IPs are one up from the Interface address in the last octet. In your client config file, try the below. [Interface] PrivateKey = Hidden Address = 10.6.0.2/24 DNS = 8.8.8.8 [Peer] PublicKey = Hidden PresharedKey = Hidden Endpoint = url:51820 ...

If it were me, I'd install OpenMediaVault on the Pi. Which will turn it into a dedicated NAS and would be perfect for what you want to achieve.

1) Take a look at the ethtool here: https://www.thegeekstuff.com/2010/10/ethtool-command/ It allows you to manually set the link speed. 2) Have you checked how many individual wires are inside the ethernet cable itself? It should be 8 for full gigabit speeds. It's quite common to see cables with onl...

Just wondering what the USB hub's power supply rating is? as each of those portable drives will draw about 0.5 amps, even more when spinning up and randomly seeking. So if you've got 6 of them attached at once, they'll likely pull 3-4 amps in total.

To do it "officially" you should use systemd. The advantage to using systemd is that you will have proper mount/dismount capability on startup and shutdown, and systemd will manage it for you. You won't notice any difference over the way you are doing it now, except when things go wrong a...

however, if you're thinking of blocking ads on your mobile phone's youtube, you might get disappointed. Depends on your router. If you can set your router to route all DNS requests through PiHole, then it works on all devices connected to that network. NB. ISP routers probably won't let you do this...

They're most likely ACKs (keepalive) packets, one way you can be absolutely sure is to fire up Wireshark in Kali and monitor the packets on the wlan0 interface.

I've used Pi-Hole at home for over two years and I couldn't be without it now. I've only got a relatively modest 120k domains on my blocklist, but even with that much, the stats show it regularly blocks over 40% of traffic. (Which just goes to show how many trackers and ads there are out there). Als...

I just published a step-by-step on how to do this: https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/back-up-raspberry-pi-as-disk-image Yours is a guide on using PiShrink (great guide btw).

yeah, I just figured that out. I need format USB to NTFS format. it take loooong time to generate image. and the generated image is bigger than I expected. for example pi@phoenix-pi-noc:~ $ df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/root 29G 5.4G 23G 20% / /dev/mmcblk0p1 253M 55M 198M 22...

The image files it creates are far smaller than the SD card, for me, it creates 8GB images. It doesn't matter what size SD card is in the Pi at the time.

I bought this X728 UPS for my Pi4 from Geekworm a few weeks ago and it works perfectly: https://geekworm.com/products/raspberry-pi-x728-max-5-1v-8a-18650-ups-power-management-board?_pos=13&_sid=261f1c64c&_ss=r The instructions on how to install the X728 scripts are here: https://geekworm.com...

sudo shutdown -h (halt) is the equivalent of sudo shutdown -P (poweroff). If you open a terminal window and type shutdown --help or reboot --help it'll show you a list of options and what they do.

Why is the Pi losing power? power cuts? is someone switching it off? Would it benefit from a UPS? Are the SD card(s) new or old? is there a chance they're damaged/corrupted/worn? Does the Pi have a suitable 3A power supply? Is the lightning bolt icon showing? You could try booting from a small USB s...
