Anyone else getting this tonight? If it's just me I think I know what it is -google seem to be ramping up the use of their own DNS servers in all their products, I am blocking them.

 

Anyone know the syntax for iptables on dd-wrt to redirect the DNS requests to my LAN side Pi-hole?

Just asked mine the weather for tomorrow and it worked fine (brief pause).  I'm blocking Google DNS servers too.

Im not blocking google DNS and am just using whatever voyager assign me and I have had huge delays to answer and being told the internet is not there, so I dont think its anything youre doing. Power cycle has solved it the last 2 times.
