+title: "Setting Up 1.1.1.1 for Families on a Pi-Hole"
+date: 2021-10-28
+---
+
+
+After seeing Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 for Families mentioned on the [front page of HackerNews](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29024195), I thought it might be helpful to show those currently using a [pi-hole device](https://pi-hole.net) how to include 1.1.1.1 alongside it.
+
+## Keeping Things Updated
+
+It should go without saying that you should be running the latest stable pi-hole version for security and full feature support. To do so, simply `ssh` into your device (or connect to it directly if you prefer) and run the following to check your pi-hole version:
+
+
+ pihole -v
+
+
+And if your version is out of date, run:
+
+
+ pihole -up
+
+
+Once it completes the update everything will be good to go!
+
+## Adding 1.1.1.1 (1.1.1.2)
+
+Now you need to navigate to your main pi-hole admin in your browser (most likely the url will be *pi.hole*). Login in using your credentials and the do the following steps:
+
+1. Navigate to **Settings**
+2. Navigate to **DNS**
+3. Under "Upstream DNS Servers" enter:
+
+- Custom 1 (IPv4): 1.1.1.2
+- Custom 2 (IPv4): 1.0.0.2
