Installed and started using Pi-hole a few days ago. This is an amazing piece of software. I was looking for years for some kind of program that would give me network wide control over the internet and now I finally found it. Will definitely recommend to others. Thanks to all the developers.

Glad you like it.

might be only true for devices you **really** control. Other humans (guests, kids,..) can change the DNS server of their devices fairly easily which will bypass Pi-hole's internet control.

I have my home network set up so that the internet can only be accessed through the main home router and I have my router's DHCP setting as the Pi-hole server. I tried changing the DNS on some of the computers on my network and no sites are able to load up. Is there a way to get around this set up?

It depends what exactly you did by

If you prevent access to external DNS servers other then Pi-hole, simply changing the DNS servers will fail. But DoT and DoH will still work.

Ah thanks for pointing this out. I had no idea what DoH and DoT were. The first thing I came across is that a DoH option is in browsers like Firefox and it was able to bypass my pi-hole server when turned on. I found a way to turn it off and lock the preference though. Haven't even looked into DoT yet.
