The issue I am facing:
Pi-Hole is not getting seen by my new Asus router. I also could not use the ISP provided modem in bridged mode. It is possible but I need to get another device to bypass it. For now I am just trying to set it up in a double NAT Configuration
Details about my system:
On previous Virgin Mobile Home Hub the way I got pihole to block ads was to disable DHCP on the HomeHub and use Pihole as my DHCP server.
What I have changed since installing Pi-hole:
It was working fine. I figured I needed to change the IP address since the new router has a 192.168.50.1 address
I ran pihole -r and changed the pihole IP to 192.168.5.100 so it would be on the same network as my new router. After going through the config I am not able to see any change. Pihole is still accessible by it's old IP address 192.168.2.132 and does not work on my new router.
I also cannot run pihole -r again because it fails OS check and won't run.
I have looked at the dhcpcd.conf and setupvars.conf and tried to set the settings back to normal with the old IPs but I get error#3 permission denied. Not sure what to do. I'm thinking of possibly starting from scratch but would like to resolve this without doing that if possible.
Thanks.
