Router overrides Pi-hole after WAN IP refresh

I would recommend setting the PiHole as your DHCP server, my router wouldn't even use the DNS I provided so that's what I ended up having to do. ( I have SagecomF@ST 5260 ) I'd recommend this over diagnosing weird router behavior but it's up to you

To do that you have to:

  • Make sure your PiHole has a static IP configured in /etc/dhcpcd.conf
  • Enable DHCP in the Pihole settings -> DHCP tab
  • Disable your routers DHCP server ( likely under the DHCP tab there )
  • ( if you turned your Raspberry PIs firewall on you might have to open some ports )
