Network flooded by dns.msftncsi.com requests

What's the difference between DNSfilter = router with Pi-Hole No Filtering and disabling DNSfilter completely?

Clients that override DHCP DNS servers won’t get redirected to PiHole.

The no filter on pi hole means that it's traffic doesn't get perverted/polluted in any way while setting the global to "router"means that the pi hole address placed in lan dns1 will be enforced among all devices "I.e. Smart devices that may have hard coded dns will be forced through pi hole". It is the same as using iptables to do the same thing. The no filter on pi hole just means it will ignore traffic originating to and from pi hole.

DNSfilter is telling all clients to use pihole for dns while telling pihole to be the primary dns
