Bit of a learning curve – installing tailscale on my pihole and setting it up to use pihole as the dns server so i can block ads on the go from anywhere  🙂

Used the guide here https://tailscale.com/kb/1114/pi-hole and then to set it up as an exit node login via SSH use

echo ‘net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1’ | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf
echo ‘net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding = 1’ | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf
sudo sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf

sudo tailscale set –advertise-exit-node

Remember to set the pihole as the DNS server for the tailnet!

To configure the Raspberry Pi as the DNS server for your tailnet, go to the DNS page of the admin console, and in the Nameservers section, select Add nameserver, then Custom. Then enter the IP address for the Raspberry Pi, select Save, and enable the Override DNS servers toggle.

Managed to completely bork everything by having pihole wipe my custom dns server address (unbound on 127.0.0.1#5335 ) Once i re-added this it works a treat. Trying to get my head round tailscale now so i can use it when on holidays to browse via my home pihole(s)
