The Pi-Hole Wizards and other smart people, hang out on the Pi-Hole Forum. Spend some time reading the forum as you might find the answer to the problem.Hello,
I am new to the Pi, but I've wanted pihole for years.
The Good News:
I have a pi zero 2w
My pi is flashed to the most recent Lite OS.
I'm able to ssh into it and it is connected on Wi-Fi.
Pihole is installed, I can navigate to the dashboard.
On the ISP router I've set up a DHCP reservation for the pi.
The bad news:
Traffic doesn't seem to be routing through it.
On my ISP router I don't believe I can change DNS settings.
I had set up the pi to be my DHCP server, but I don't know how to disable it on the Pi.
My wifi booster sits between the pi and the router, so idk if this is causing problems.
Butch
