In the case you mention you could use (and I assume you are) a firewall/redirection rule. that may require more aggressive settings. Perhaps I should've said 'all you need to do in typical cases'? I'll happily agree that there may be usages outside the. I think that it's a tiny bit short-sighted to say 'All you need to do is DHCP config for DNS' I can't 'just sent the DNS via DHCP' because then people could manually override the DNS to get to their chinese DNS servers. When you say 'all you need to do' I think that you're missing part of it.įor example I have new chinese employers, and I have a machine dedicated to them, and I want to FORCE that machine to use DNS in pihole. Ideally you shut it off and do dhcp on the statically addressed pihole. I plan on replacing that with a netgate pfsense appliance for reasons unrelated to pihole.Īll you need to be able to do is control your internal dhcp settings - either shut it off or limit it so that you can safely assign a static ip to your pihole (on the pihole itself - just needs to be outside the dhcp range if inside it do it as a reservation on the dhcp system but still static on the pihole). Well I’m running ddwrt on a router I picked up from a thrift store and flashed. As due to the nature of those they will allow you full settings at the risk of now flashing and maybe bricking a router. Or consider finding one that will run an open source router build like ddwrt, openwrt, tomato etc. Read the reviews, get the manual for it from the manufacture’s website. Look for a well reviewed router that you can get easily. Perhaps I shouldn’t say ‘will’ as I can’t say this is true for all units in the world. That isn’t your question.īut any router you buy yourself - and thus taking on the responsibility of setting it up and making it work - will allow you to change what you needed to. There may be work arounds as is often discussed here depending on if it won’t let you do anything or will let you do something. ![]() They don’t want the support burden of people breaking things. I suspect the only reason your Verizon unit does not let you change internal dhcp settings and dns is because of Verizon.
