Hi everyone!
I am a newish user. Installed pihole on my Pi 3B almost 3 months ago and since then I have had issues when playing games - notably CS2.
When I route my traffic thru Pihole I experience a significant increase in latency and jitter. It varies from noticable to insufferable. DHCP is turned on only on the router. Pi handles just then DNS and filtering.
If I disable Pihole and change the DNS to 1.1.1.1, there is almost no jitter and the latency is fine.
I’ve scowered the internet for answers, but most people blame having DHCP on both router and Pi, which I don’t have enabled. Any ideas what I could check or change? Some even suggested enabling IPv6 support, but that didn’t do anything.
The Pi is updated to the lates Pihole version as of today. It is enclosed in a plastic case and cooling, so temps aren’t an issue.
On my PC I am running Fedora 42 with CachyOS kernel.
Thanks!
