So, it seems I’m getting again stuck with my pihole, seems it might not resolve domains I know that are new to it…
So, if I try to visit the website from my browser (firefox or ungoogle chromium), it gets a DNS failure. Same with a nslookup. But if I connect to the pihole and do a:
dig saigoneer.com @127.0.0.1 -p 5335
I get the full response and resolution. But even in the pihole, attempting nslookup saigoneer.com will fail. Any idea what can I try next?
I have purposely disabled IPv6 everywhere. Router, Pihole etc. What do you mean which DNS am I using? The computer failing to resolve, or the Pihole that successfully resolves with dig, but somehow fails to actually resolve it to the pihole request/requesting computer?
Welp…Not sure what was wrong, but seems to now be resolving again. I…restored a few previous backups to no avail, rebooted to no avail…and after just giving up and upgrading, and rebooting…now it seems to work again. And I still have no idea how to troubleshoot this if it ever happens again :(

Try with dig to check what DNS you are using. And check if you have support for both IPv4 and IPv6.
