Entware Pi-hole directly on the router? Yes!

Well few days in with everything working correctly and gotta say, it's VERY nice having pihole run natively on the router, one less device is always nice!

Has anyone tried using something like the app "Pihole client" on Android? I used it when I was running it on my RPi and it's basically an app that shows all the GUI stats. Used to work fine with the RPi but whenever I enter the details for the router address I either get a "Failed. Unknown Error" using port 5443 or "SSL Error. Check if the servers certificate is valid" using port 5080.

I've tried exporting/importing the cert but that doesn't seem to change anything, I'm sure I'm just an idiot but help would be appreciated

This is over https for reference but I'm sure that's obvious

I just downloaded this app and it connected without any issues.
Remember that 3rd-party apps should use App password from Settings -> API instead of your main password.
Port 5080 is with SSL off, 5443 with SSL on.

Yeah checked all that, it's gotta be an issue with my certificates. I'll have to play around with it more when I've got more time. It's not a deal breaker anyway, just a nice to have

Pi-hole self-generates SSL certificate, the app has option to allow self-signed certificates - make sure that is on.

Yep, it is

Curiously I've tried another app called "Pi-hole Connect" and it works no issues on port 5443

Using the exact same credentials in "Pi-hole Client" doesn't work
