The issue I am facing:
I have a fresh install of pi-hole on a raspberry-pi 3B+.
If I set its IP address (static) as DNS on my router, I cannot browse the internet anymore, no domain name is resolved (or, at least, it looks like it does not).
Funny thing is that if I set the pi-hole as DNS on my smartphone, well, it works...
I am not sure what other information I can provide to help solving this... just let me know if there is any other information I can provide!
You set its IP as DNS server to be distributed via DHCP to the clients? In this case you have to dis/reconnect the clients once to pick up the new settings.
Or did you setup pihole as the upstream DNS server for your router (WAN side)?
Please provide a debug token (pihole -d).
thanks for the reply.
I have set as DNS the IP address of the raspberry-pi where pi-hole is running on the router that connects me to the internet (so to speak, I have replaced 8.8.8.8 with 192.168.2.2), but it does not seem to work. As mentioned if I set that 192.168.2.2 in my smartphone DNS settings all works (pi-hole filters the ads and I can navigate the Internet).
I have been trying to for a DHCP lease on the devices where I was running my tests, with no luck.
