Changed my Local Subnet to the pi itself since I am also runnning Pi-hole.
Able to get to yahoo.com and google.com and some other sites but others doesn't load at all, when connected, am i missing somthing?

Found out im using my ipv6 address and not my ipv4 address when checking out my ip, so i'm assuming its using the ipv6 of the sites that i can connect to.

How can you update the server.conf file? Everytime i try to update it it throws a permissions error. Same error happens on WinSCP and Cyberduck.

The following script in the repository enabled duplicate-cn by default. You don't want to change the config file.
