[BUG | ISSUE] Expected Behaviour:

AAAA_QUERY_ANALYSIS=no
resolve_ipv6=no

After adding these lines to the file and restarting FTL, I'd expect no ipv6 queries to show in the query log/stats.

[BUG | ISSUE] Actual Behaviour: AAAA dns queries are still being shown and responded to according to the query log.

[BUG | ISSUE] Steps to reproduce: Add the following to /etc/pihole/pihole-ftl.conf and restart FTL.

AAAA_QUERY_ANALYSIS=no
RESOLVE_IPV6=no

Done the following without any effect:

• pihole -r and checked/unchecked ipv6
• Deactivated DNSSEC (#244)

Log file output [if available] Running pihole -d reveals that the settings are actually being loaded into FTL.

Device specifics

Hardware Type: Raspberry Pi, Model B Gen 1 (Arm6) OS: Raspbian Stretch;

Have to manually build updates from git because of issue #244. Last done yesterday evening. Was initially just trying to hide the ipv6 requests from stats/query log since I do not have a ipv6 router.

This template was created based on the work of udemy-dl.

[technicalpyro]

you still see the AAAA queries because the devices are still trying to make them as far as the status or returns that could be down to the backwards compatability baked into IPv6

[OneRainbowDev]

This says that adding AAAA_QUERY_ANALYSIS=no should hide the AAAA queries from the log, though of course they still occur in the background.

I would have expected RESOLVE_IPV6=no to deny all ipv6 queries though.

Ah, made a mistake with the title and example commands there, the actual file on the raspi is pihole-FTL.conf, and it is loading the right settings according to the logs.

[DL6ER]

Yeah, I see this now. Looking at the code, everything seems fine. I'll try it myself in a bit.

[DL6ER]

Okay, there was a space where it shouldn't have been. I fixed this in 1d6a339969e1585246a47adf6a2d99a543561c12. I also disabled importing of AAAA queries from the databse (on startup) if this setting is set (003371fcd3a7541bffad911e858ab78c745f35d9).

Unfortunately, you will have to clone and compile the most recent version now.

[OneRainbowDev]

Rebuilt the binary (make caches stuff) and it works perfectly, thanks!

[DL6ER]

I was more worried that you might have to rebuild the sqlite module. I had to do it today and it took like 5 minutes even on a Raspberry Pi v3...

[OneRainbowDev]

Ah that, I did that yesterday, took about 15 minutes...
