Pi-hole diagnosis DNSMASQ_WARN
Hi guys, I keep getting hundreds of DNSMASQ_WARN messages in my Pihole stating
"ignoring query from non-local network 94...*".
The IP addresses link back to Digital Ocean and other cloud providers.
I set up my Pihole following the Linode tutorial on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COz3SopM92U&t=339s, "How to install PiHole on a Linode VPS" and was wondering if this is a problem and is there anything that I can do to stop this?
Thanks all
DG

As far as I understand, this isn't specifically a problem as much as it is warning about the nature of internet-facing resources. PiHole allows for the logging of external requests coming from networks that you have not specifically allowed access to your server/app.
It seems like this is a core feature of PiHole/DNSMSQ so you won't (also shouldn't) disable it, but there appears to be a way to prevent these notifications from inundating your dashboard:
