Hi there, I've just done the switch from NextDNS to PiHole. Simply because I want to test it out + self-host my DNS. I set up PiHole+Unbound two days ago, and yesterday the amount of "Queries blocked" was much higher that it is now. But this morning the number was down back to 100ish. Is this normal behaviour, is it supposed to reset the counter? I'd rather it didn't. Let me know if this is my fault or a setting I've managed to miss.
Thank you.
I assume this is the setting you are suggesting can extend the query count period. It still will only give you the last N hours' worth of queries, which is not what OP asked. I gather OP wants to see the cumulative total of blocked queries over all time, and I doubt the FTL database tracks the data in a usable way to arrive at that number.
Thanks anyway dude
If it helps, Adguard Home has individual settings of 24h, 7d, 30d, 90d for logs and stats.
I will try that one next to see how it compares. Thanks for letting me know 👍
