First get ride of above setting as it doesnt belong to Pi-hole and might conflict with other Pi-hole settings.
Edit the file /etc/dnsmasq.conf
and remove or hash out the dhcp-range=
line.
Restart FTL and check again:
sudo systemctl restart pihole-FTL
sudo systemctl status pihole-FTL -l
Next setup the routers DHCP server settings like described on below FAQ (methode 1 or 2):
Or if settings lacking or not exposed on the router, configure Pi-hole to do DHCP for your network instead of the router:
Testing DNS resolution and blocking can be done with below one on one of your client PC's (Linux, Windows or Mac):
nslookup pi.hole <PIHOLE_IP_ADDRESS>
Below an example from one of my clients with 10.0.0.2 being my Pi-hole IP:
C:\>nslookup pi.hole 10.0.0.2
Server: noads.dehakkelaar.nl
Address: 10.0.0.2
Name: pi.hole
Address: 10.0.0.2
Or a naughty domain getting redirected to 0.0.0.0:
C:\>nslookup doubleclick.com 10.0.0.2
Server: noads.dehakkelaar.nl
Address: 10.0.0.2
Name: doubleclick.com
Addresses: ::
0.0.0.0
Above nsloolups should generate stats on the Pi-hole web GUI.
