So I just installed Pi-Hole on a Raspberry Pi 4B and been getting a RATE_LIMIT error and saying that my router is the culprit! Is there a way I can fix this in my router or is this a Pi issue!? I also disabled the RATE_LIMIT in the Pi-Hole settings but still get this issue.
Router is a GL-iNet GL-MT1300 Beryl with LuCI installed.
there is this?
option dnsforwardmax '150'
but your phrasing does not ring any bells...
appears to be a pi-hole setting / limitation... nothing about that message says
Is there a way to remove the rate limit of the router in Pi-Hole somehow!? and do you know how!? lol
There is an option in /etc/pihole/pihole-FTL.conf named RATE_LIMIT.
Default is "RATE_LIMIT=1000/60" (1000 queries pro 60 seconds).
I suggest setting it to "RATE_LIMIT=1000/1" (1000 queries pro second) or even "RATE_LIMIT=10000/1". Don't forget to restart pihole after editing pihole-FTL.conf.
Good luck.
Thank you! But is it normal that Pi-Hole doesn't have that in the settings cause I had to add RATE_LIMIT=0/0 myself cause it wasn't listed in that file when I looked into it before and found that!?
Yes, it is normal.
For every option you do not specify there is a default value.
Ok. Yeah it seems to have fixed the issue, I just went with 50.000/1 and just checked it and have 2,135,277+ total queries out of 1,805,399 total adlists!! LOL
