Open command prompt in Windows. What's the output from:

nslookup install.Pi-hole.net 9.9.9.9

fruitvenison commented 11 months ago

nslookup install.Pi-hole.net 9.9.9.9 Server: UnKnown Address: 9.9.9.9

*** UnKnown can't find install.Pi-hole.net: Server failed

Do you have restricted internet access? (Governmental, corporate, or otherwise)

fruitvenison commented 11 months ago

Nope, live in the UK. ISP is Virgin Media and I use the ProtonVPN via Split Tunneling for Chrome/Prowlarr for Sonarr purposes.

If I load install.pi-hole.net on a web browser it redirects to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/master/automated%20install/basic-install.sh

Your computer is unable to use Quad 9 for DNS requests. It's probably your VPN causing the issue.

Uninstall the failed installation: C:\Program Files\Pi-hole\Pi-hole Uninstall.cmd

Then disconnect from the VPN temporarily and retry the install script.

Alternatively, you can edit PH4WSL1.CMD and search/replace all occurrances of 9.9.9.9 with a DNS server that works on your network. You can find which DNS server to use by runnning ipconfig /all | find "DNS Server"

You are 100% correct.

Disconnected the VPN. Tested. Working.

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

I wrongly assumed split tunneling was working. Obviously not.

Re-trying install now.

Appreciate the help.
