Hello guys!
After some trouble with starlink and pihole (couldnt get it working for some reason), I finally got it working but its not showing any client besides 192.168.1.1 which is my Starlink router, and sometimes 0.0.0.0, localhost and sometimes my PCs IP. I dont really know what i'm doing wrong.
How can i show every client and maybe exclude/hide from query log my routers?

This is normally an indication that you have configured you routers WAN DNS to point to pihole as oppsed to DHCP / Lan DNS.
This is speculation: but it may be that your LAN clients are set to use your router as the DNS server. If you point the router to the pihole, you'd still be protected. Your dns query setup would look like this:
clients > router > pi-hole > internet DNS
There's another way to do it, in where you change your DHCP settings on the router to point the clients to the pi-hole, and use your router as an upstream DNS server, with the router set to an internet DNS server. eg:
client > pi-hole > router > internet DNS
My router is set like this, i cant edit DHCP settings on the Starlink router, i can just use custom DNS (i forced them a bit)
I can't read that language, but you should remove all those secondary DNS servers, assuming those are the default servers. Keeping them will allow your clients to bypass pi-hole.
It seems you may be stuck with the current configuration, then. Your pi-hole will only show the router's IP, unless you statically set the pi-hole as every client's DNS server.
Your other option is to let pi-hole handle DHCP. You'd then see all clients on the pi-hole.
You would be able to achieve this query structure with pi-hole handling DHCP.
The ipv6 dns is the pihole
