Wireless devices not working after setting up pi-hole

Edit: Managed to find a fix for it, but have another problem not related to this topic, dnsmasq error listed in last paragraph

Expected Behaviour:

wireless devices to be able to connect to the internet

Actual Behaviour:

only everything connected via lan is able to access the internet, including the ap that's giving wifi to my devices is able to ping to the internet, but not wireless devices connected to the ap.

After setting up pi-hole, everything was working fine but then my wireless device connected to the ap cant connect to the internet for some reason, but the ap itself can access the internet, trying to figure out if it's my firewall (opnsense), ap or pi-hole issue.

My phone is able to ping to my main router, the pi running pi-hole, the ap, and I don't see anything getting blocked on the firewall side, no signs of it trying to reach the wan.

So while checking out more devices, apparently my echo dot is online, and so are my yeelight bulbs and iot devices, I can turn them off/on on the app even tho I'm on data instead of my network, but all the smartphones/tablets/laptops/consoles cant connect to the internet/wan for some reason, I asked Alexa to ping to google.com and was able to get 20ms, which is weird

edit: after 2 hours with trial and error, I set my phones DNS to my firewall instead of pi-hole, and I got internet again, and it also shows up on pi-hole query (my ap and firewall are on different vlan).

Besides this I also have an issue with "Warning in dnsmasq core: Ignoring query from non-local network", getting a lot of error popup from pi-hole, but that's a different topic.

Please use the search function for this. It has been discussed several times in the last week.
