Hi there,
I’m trying to configure a Raspberry Pi running Pi-hole as the network DNS server for my router running pcWRT with the Premium firmware.
The trouble is that after I change the IP address of the DNS server in pcWRT, it doesn’t seem to work – no devices can resolve DNS to get to the internet and there are no queries showing up in Pi-hole.
I put the Raspberry Pi’s IP address (192.168.10.105) in as the Custom DNS server under “Use custom DNS servers” on the Setting->Internet page. I don’t have DoH checked, and I do have “Use random MAC address checked” (in the hopes that it will help with anonymity and privacy a little bit, but maybe I should uncheck that, I’m not sure).
On the Default profile in Access Control I set the DNS Servers setting to be “System Default”. I have “Enforce Access Control” checked, as well. No calendars are set up.
Otherwise my configuration is pretty standard, I just set it all up a few days ago. So far the pcWRT router has been fine (TP-Link Archer C7 v2) and things have been working great, other than this DNS issue.
Status page configs details are:
Address: 192.168.0.16
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.1
Not sure what I’m doing wrong, please help!
Thanks.
