Use Python.
Sadly all I know about Python is it’s a snake...

Use bash?

Hence Python, the universal system automation language.

True, could be done just like on Linux.

What if I setup a dynamic DNS client on a computer, and have it update to my domain, say name.domain.com then have a script nslookup the domain name and update the firewall rules?
What OS are you going to be installing pi-hole in?
Liked the idea so just started working on the script, resolving the dynamic dns name and logging it and comparing it to the current ip is done. Just need to target your OS of choice to test the creation/destruction of the firewall rules.
https://github.com/rodrigo-hissam/dns_to_ip_firewall_rules/blob/master/dns-to-ip-firewall-rules.py
Example:
~/scripts/python$ python dns-to-ip-firewall-rules.py Adding to firewall - TODO mangolassi.it - 104.25.47.32 Adding to firewall - TODO google.com - 172.217.1.238 Adding to firewall - TODO theverge.com - 151.101.65.52 #Log files created per host to store the previous ip for the comparison. ~/scripts/python$ ls dns-to-ip-firewall-rules.py google.com mangolassi.it theverge.com # Re running the script to compare with logged ip ~/scripts/python$ python dns-to-ip-firewall-rules.py Same ip address nothing to do mangolassi.it - 104.25.47.32 Same ip address nothing to do google.com - 172.217.1.238 Adding 151.101.193.52 to firewall theverge.com - 151.101.193.52 -
I am not a scripter, nor do I play one on TV, but you can get your public IP using this:
curl ifconfig.co -
@romo use Ubuntu

@romo use Ubuntu
I installed it on Fedora 26 with no problem.

If your f&f have routers with OpenVPN client, VPN would work.

Mine is also installed on Fedora 26.

Fedora 26 here too. No issues at all.

Script updated, automatic rule creation and deletion in Ubuntu working properly. Working on Fedora and firewalld next.

@romo This is f'ing brilliant! The downside is that now I HAVE to try this on Vultr. Anyone have a script to add more hours in the day?
Btw, what's your frequency for running this in cron? Every 5 mins? 15mins?
-
@romo thanks!
-
@nashbrydges it is very nice indeed
-
@romo I love your script! Thank you so much! Sorry I didn’t reply before somehow I missed your post
Can you make this so I can set whatever ports I want? In the example I gave before I just wanted to do DNS but now my mind is spinning with other ideas

Now that I'll be testing Romo's script, I don't need to use VPN and I'd like to setup the admin page behind Nginx. Found a tutorial that allows admin page access using Nginx as a proxy but I can't get the HTTPS redirect to work right.
https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/wiki/Nginx-Configuration
Anyone have a working Nginx config with HTTPS redirect for this?
Found this that shows how to setup Let's Encrypt with lighttpd but don't know enough to set it up for other proper security headers.

@nashbrydges Also, take a look at this for SSL
