Gargoyle router firmware

[rooster]

Hello, since swapping my router firmware to "Gargoyle" the client IP addresses are ALL reported as the router within pihole

Pihole IS working, and the router is configured to use it.

Ive asked on their forum, but they assume the user has a degree in nerdiness !!!!!

Im told I need to alter a config file, but no idea which - or what to alter...

Any ideas PLEASE ?????

I'm not familiar with Gargoyle routers. Can you send a screenshot of where you are setting the DHCP options for the DNS?

Can you send a screenshot of the DHCP section from the sidebar?

That seems to be correct then. However, the perfect solution to your problem is to use Pi-hole's built-in DHCP server.

How do I use Pi-hole's built in DHCP server (and why would I want to)?

Using Your Existing Router For Network-wide Ad Blocking You might not need to use Pi-hole's DHCP server: In many home environments, your router also functions as your DHCP server. In this case, you can often set Pi-hole to be the DNS server for your network clients in the router's DHCP (or LAN) settings page, which allows all of your network clients to block ads simply by connecting to the network. Setting it up this way is also what makes Pi-hole very powerful for network-wide ad blocking. …
