Let Claude read my DNS log, and it told me things about my network I never would've known otherwise

A network-focused report describes using Pi-hole to inspect DNS traffic and then using Claude to analyze exported logs from a home network. The author ran Pi-hole to capture DNS requests and, to avoid overloading the AI, exported four days of data and uploaded it for pattern detection. Claude found that the smart home system accounted for nearly a fifth of traffic: out of almost 400,000 DNS queries across the period, about 85,000 came from Home Assistant, representing over 20%. It also identified that many of those requests were not typical domain lookups, but connectivity checks, DNS resolver health checks, or VPN/tunnel-related activity. The same analysis flagged a Samsung washing machine sending queries to cloud servers hosted in Tokyo: Pi-hole logged nearly 5,000 DNS requests over four days, roughly once every 72 seconds, around the clock.
