pihole in a DMZ

Help
1

i want to reconfigure my pihole in a DMZ.
So I have 2 fritz boxes.
Fritzbox 6490 should make internet conection
Fritzbox 7430 is good for home network.

So where I should take my pi-hole?
I know I can reconfigure my pi-hole with

pihole -r.

Greetings,
Mathias

Running a Pi-Hole in a DMZ is very bad from a security perspective. It will also create an open resolver, another bad outcome.

Why do you want to run this in a DMZ?

I can connect it also outside of the DMZ.
I heared its the best way against attacks.
I have a Smarthome and it will be like a nightmare......

I don't follow this. If the Pi-Hole is running behind your router, it is invisible to the internet and not subject to attacks. When you expose it to the internet, then the attacks are possible.

I have many smart home devices, and they all run fine with a Pi-Hole on my LAN. No ports open to the internet, no DMZ.
