I have the current configuration:

Router: 192.168.2.1\24
PiHole(DHCP/DNS): 192.168.2.10\24 (Static)

My DHCP range is: 192.168.2.200-255

I try to use IP tables to force DNS redirection using the following rules:

Code:

#keep network on pi-hole
iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -i br0 -p tcp --dport 53 -j DNAT --to 192.168.1.pi:53
iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -i br0 -p udp --dport 53 -j DNAT --to 192.168.1.pi:53
#punch DNS hole for pi-hole
iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -i br0 -p tcp -s 192.168.1.pi --dport 53 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -i br0 -p udp -s 192.168.1.pi --dport 53 -j ACCEPT


But this kills all DNS requests from the Pihole.

I've also tried using DD-WRT for DHCP and giving the DNS resolver as the PiHole., as I can check the force DNS redirection box. But the same thing happens, DNS dies once that configuration takes place. I'm not certain what I need to do to keep DNS redirection *and* have the PiHole do what it does.

Check out my pi-hole thread in the broadcom section. Hint make sure you tell pi-hole to listen on all interfaces. It wouldn't work for me until I did that. I'm also using it as local DNS.

EDIT
It worked without doing this.. but only for br0

Code:
iptables -I FORWARD -i br0 -p tcp -d 192.168.1.115 --dport 53 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I FORWARD -i br0 -p udp -d 192.168.1.115 --dport 53 -j ACCEPT


Try this.. looks like your first two lines are causing problems. Replace them with this

the problem is you are also redirecting the DNS traffic from the pi hole back on itself hence no DNS.
You have to exclude the pihole from redirecting by including in the rule: -s ! 192.168.10.1

Thanks @egc. That worked. I just added
Code:
-s ! raspberry.pi.ip.address
to the first 2 lines, where I redirect all DNS to Rpi. And it worked perfectly.

I knew it was simple and knew that I was redirecting DNS back to the pihole. I am slowly getting familiar with iptables commands.

Thanks!

HI , I have the same problem.

On my router (192.168.2.1) Im using only these two lines :

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i br0 -s 192.168.2.101 -p tcp --dport 53 -j DNAT --to 192.168.2.149
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i br0 -s 192.168.2.101 -p udp --dport 53 -j DNAT --to 192.168.2.149

I can see that DNS has come to PI-HOLE server (192.168.2.149), but Im receiving DNS timeout.

When I enable force DNS redirection, it looks like iptable rules are completly ignored and nothing is forwarded to 192.168.2.149

thanks , I have already found one solution for this problem.

After POSTROUTING rules I had to add

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE

Problem is that since then I can not see original IP adress of DNS request /all of them seems like from router itself/ , but at least its working ... Wink
