ASUS RT-AC68U - The correct way to configure DNS for Pi-Hole (standalone device)

[shabbs]

Not to derail the conversation, but what is the benefit of using a separate Pi-hole instead of Diversion on the router as an ad-blocker, other than possibly different ad-blocking lists? Just curious.

I'm not familiar with Diversion to be honest, will check it out, but Pi-hole has a pretty rich web interface with recently introduced features such as group management which really makes it easier for managing multiple devices that you want in/out of your blocking rules. Blocklist subscriptions, regex and wildcard blocking, easy whitelisting via the Web interface, stats history dashboard, dark mode etc.... I run two Pi-holes (two separate Pi's) for redundancy as well as running unbound, PiVPN and my DHCP services.
