    When you say the "router's local IP" you mean 192.168.1.1 in my case? - and, does that mean having a Pihole IP under the LAN DHCP DNS section and then setting the redirection to Router, it means the Pihole would be bypased since the firewall will use the router's IP? This is just bouncing...

    @bennor I had edited my previous response. You reminded me I needed to add the Pihole to No Direction. It's working now, thanks so much!

    That was it.. I knew I must have been missing something. I did not have Pihole "excluded" or set to No Direction in there. Thank you Bennor!

    What I am confused is because, if I set this on the LAN DCHP Doesn't that mean this becomes the DNS server for everyone connected to the router? If so, then selecting Router in DNS Director forces everyone to use that DNS server set in the LAN DCHP, no? The Custom would be for devices I want...

    - CHANGED: Setting DNS Director to "Router" will now always redirect to the router's own IP. Previously it would redirect to the first DNS server configured on the DHCP page (which defaults to the router itself). If you need DNS...

    Something is definitely not right. I cannot have this setting like this, if not my wireless devices get "No internet" message.

    This is how I've had my settings for probably a few years with no issues. I was told to use "Respond only on interface eth0" in order be able to use Pihole DNS from outside my network while using Openvpn.

    Hmm..well I rarely ever touch Pihole as it’s been working great. The only new thing that happened was me updating the router’s firmware. I guess I will try reloading Pihole from scratch again…maybe it doesn’t like something about this update.

    I did that and my internet becomes wonky…some sites wont load…Once I put it back to global, then everything goes back to normal except openvpn

    @RMerlin When connect my iphone to Openvpn outside my LAN, I can connect to it, but it's not using the Pihole DNS server. Is there maybe another setting I need to enable on this version? These are my settings.. LAN - Pihole IP DNS Director OpenVpn

    Openvpn doesn’t seem to be pushing the Pihole dns server to clients. On the previous version, ticking this to yes would do it, but now it doesn’t.

    Glad this discussion post is still open. Some of the lingering question I had were answered on here, like where to assign static IPs. I was wondering about that and I see it's in the Advanced settings. One question I still have that I haven't found a discussion on is.. does it matter which...

    @bennor You won't believe it...I am such a dufus! I forgot to enable JFFS.. when I reset the router I forgot to enable it.. my bad. All is well...... for now 😂 Thank you.

    I did reset the router and that has fixed the app issue. I can now connect the router to the app as before. I still have issues connecting my RTSP wireless security cameras to their respective app and I am unable to get the Amcrest 5MP doorbell to show up in Blue Iris. I have tried your...

    Maybe I should reset the router again to factory settings. Although I already did that after flashing this version, so this is technically a fresh installation.
