OK, for what reason? it actually works very well. I achieve exactly what I want.
Because you're calling yourself 8.8.8.8 which is a very bad thing to do. And won't work for any client, since they are going to route to the real 8.8.8.8. Only the device you added the IP address to will have a route to use itself as 8.8.8.8.
Just don't do it.
I'm sorry, but the explanation doesn't make sense. I have an app that absolutely wanted to address 8.8.8.8:53 directly. but I had blocked port 53. the app did not work. now i have given pi hole 8.8.8.8 and the app works. all is well. so it works. just don't do it is no justification. why not? it works the way it should. it is the point of pi hole to let pi hole handle all DNS traffic what should happen if I give it the IPs of the blocked DNS servers? except that he takes on the task of this.
Best of luck to you! And Merry Christmas!!
I also wish you a merry Christmas.
