Re: [PLUG] Pi-Hole v6 working?

[JP Vossen via plug <plug@lists.phillylinux.org>]

That's good to know.  It did occur to me to to either totally uninstall Pi-Hole and re-install from scratch, or just to nuke the VM and start over.  I ran out of time and energy for that today.

The new HTTPS console worked, all the stats were there, etc.  Just one thing, external addresses could NOT be resolved, because the Pi-Hole v6 appended ".jpsdomain.org." to every query, like `google.com.jpsdomain.org.` so every external query was NXDOMAIN.
