Redirect all traffic from Green to PiHole

Hello Sujan - Welcome to the IPFire Community!

When reading through the Community posts you will see that PiHole is not recommended due to security issues. Since the pi-hole filters DNS records, DNSSEC is not possible from the client to the external DNS server (hope I explained this correctly).

Having said that…
What you have proposed above is what I have setup for my GREEN network.

Client (DNS) → PiHole (DNS) → IPFire (DNS) → to external DNS Server

This works fine but as I said it is not secure.

To force clients to a specific DNS server see:

The below is being testing but has not been released:

Hope this helps,
Jon
