Pihole stuck on Google DNS

[user4747]

The issue I am facing:

I set my Pihole to use Open DNS and when I run a 'dig' I get told my pihole that it is using Google DNS
Details about my system:
The latest version of pihole on Raspberry Pi OS Buster
What I have changed since installing Pi-hole:
I changed nothing

I get told my pihole that it is using Google DNS

What is telling you that?

Please upload a debug log and post just the token that is generated after the log is uploaded by running the following command from the Pi-hole host terminal:

pihole -d

or do it through the Web interface:

Tools > Generate Debug Log

Your device hosting Pi-hole is using the DNS servers listed above named "nameserver" for itself. There is nothing wrong about this. Two of these servers are from google.

All queries send to the device from other clients are handled by Pi-hole and are send to "PIHOLE_DNS_1/2"

The way I under seem to understand it. Is that the information from the pihole. does not get passed on to the local resolv.conf file.

of the servers which I picked does not get passed on into the resolv.conf of the local pihole.

Since I had no in fixing this issue should I just rebuilt the SD card image ?

The upstream DNS servers used by Pi-hole are independent of whatever nameserver you may have assigned on the host OS. Pi-hole makes no changes to the host nameserver.

What is the issue you want to fix? Do you want Pi-hole to use a different upstream DNS server? Do you want the Pi-hole host device to use a different nameserver? Neither of these requires rebuilding the SD card image.

I assume by "my Pihole" you mean the device on which Pi-hole is operating? Pi-hole is software, and the underlying OS is not Pi-hole.

Ok, sorry about misunderstanding the part about the upstream servers and the local reslove.conf.
I just had quick look at a different pihole. Where the resolv.conf had the namerservs of the local router in it. I guess that's who it should look like.
Question now is where to make the changes to get this to work like just described ???

I just checked this certain pihole again and it currently set to 'OpenDns' not Google DNS. I than changed to Comodo and checked it again and the 'dig' again came back with Google DNS.

Yes, appologies. When I wrote 'my Pihole' I meant the actual device eg operating from the local Pi.
