Pihole handle too many TXT query from dynamic public IP address

Expected Behaviour:

reduce the requests made from unknown address

Actual Behaviour:

Recently, without change anything, I realized my pi-hole docker container (run on RPi) handle millions requests per day.

My question is:

• Is this a problem with Pi-hole or my router?
• I change DNSMASQ_LISTENING to "local" and it can reduce number of requests, but my devices cannot access Internet with error:
  Oct 16 23:03:33: ignoring query from non-local network 192.168.1.X.
  How can I allow some specific client/IPs such as 192.168.1.X ?

Close all the open ports in your router. Somebody appears to have found your Pi-hole and is using it.

Thank you. Exactly somebody is using my Pihole. I closed port 53 and everything is fine now
