Connectivitycheck.gstatic.com

I blacklisted connectivitycheck.gstatic.com as it seemed to be pinging this beacon very frequently. I remember it doing this before but not to this level. Since the re-install, it's been trying to reach this address at an excessive rate. I understand it's a beacon site usually used to check and see if an android phone is on wifi or not, but this is insane. Blocking it has had no effect in use of the device, but it's extremely annoying seeing how it's saturating my pihole.

It is not clear to me what you want to do. Do you want to map the connectivitycheck.gstatic.com domain name to a local IP? And the local IP leads to a web server that will provide some reply to the requesting client?

In my pi-hole instance, in DNS server, I assigned the

connectivitycheck.gstatic.com

192.168.10.200

So when I ping connectivitycheck.gstatic.com from a node in the network (for example another PC), I get ping to 192.168.10.200 so I guess it is OK.

First, set up connectivitycheck.gstatic.com as a virtual host on a local web server. I used Apache2 on another machine (I already run a bunch of local sites there) but I'm sure Lighttpd on the Pi-Hole would be great too. (You'll need to search for instructions for how to do this for your particular favourite web server.)

I guess Android on the phone is unable to reach "connectivitycheck.gstatic.com". The connection appears fine in the OpenWRT logs that I can see - it authenticates, and gets an IP address. I can see the phone is connected. I used tcpdump and in Wireshark I see it's also successfully having DNS lookups resolved. However I don't see any other responses to outgoing messages from the phone when on the affected networks, the phone just sends retries which are ignored.

I have this same issue, even before the user gets past the web redirect acl, the controller is proxying connections to connectivitycheck.gstatic.com and replying to the client /generate_204 which tells the client its not behind a captive portal...so the device doesnt listen to the redirect.

Android is sending out many requests to connectivitycheck.gstatic.com which is eating into his available hours spent online. This is effectively rendering the parental controls feature unusable for him. I have attempted to both block and allow the domain in the Deco interface but it has no effect on its count against his time spent online.

My original post shows a screenshot of insight>online time - connectivitycheck.gstatic.com is blocked but it still racks up the hours and they absolutely count toward his online time. Also, it doesn't matter if the domain is blocked or not, its pings count toward his online time.

She has a laptop and a Google home mini. I've bumped her allowance to 5 hours a day for the holidays. She came to me yesterday saying the internet was not working again, but that she had only been on her laptop for a bout 10 minutes and played the radio on her Google home for about an hour. I clicked through the Deco app and sure enough, it checked out, but like above, there was 4.8 hours spend on connectivitycheck.gstatic.com.

Hello to all.

Can anybody help me svp?

Beforehand thank you

Fred

I am experiencing the exact same issue as the original poster. On my android phone I can not access the ui.io page no matter what I try. A few days ago I could access it, no problem. Now I only get the http: // connectivitycheck.gstatic.com error.

I have to say my first week with this device has been probably one of the most frustrating first weeks with a new product. Obviously, there is a learning curve, which I accept. But something as un-digital as plugging in a guitar, bringing up the corresponding fader and plugging in a set of headphones should allow me to hear myself play. I couldn't even get that to work--zero sound in the headphones. I sure hope this gets better in a hurry.

Ping to Google to see if we have internet connection. This is called captive portal mode. The domains are:

www.google.com

connectivitycheck.gstatic.com

If we disable them we will not be able to log in to a public wifi.

You would have to add it as a hostname to your firewall to allow access. Some firewalls allow adding a DNS name so that it performs a look-up each time. The problem with that particular connectivitycheck.gstatic.com is that there are, and historically have been, a lot of IP addresses part of the setup. e24fc04721
