Pi-hole blocking internet access

1 - set your router's upstream DNS servers to your ISP default

Unfortunately I cannot configure the upstream DNS. I can only configure what the router distributes locally, so I can choose automatic or manual.

@Bucking_Horn

2 - configure your router to distribute Pi-hole as local DNS server
3 - configure Pi-hole to use your router's IP as its only upstream DNS

However assuming the upstream DNS are handled automatically, I've configured the rest as per above.

Not sure if this is what was expected or provides any clarity.

To address i), you'd then have to disable your router's DHCP server and switch over to Pi-hole for DHCP, effectively replacing Pi-hole for your router in step 2.

Looks like this is the only option given the Vodafone router behaviour.
