Firmware Version: 1.20 build 20230725

In the past, using a pihole was pretty much beyond the scope of my knowledge/abilities. I guess at the time there was a workaround, or you needed two piholes or something, but I also know from the piHole forums that only the Deco's had this soecific "issue".

 

I see an actual FAQ article on the TP-LINK website now about piHole, so I'm just curious - is this all resolved?

 

I can just put my raspberry pi / piHole on the network, set it to a static IP, then set the WAN and LAN DNS servers to the piHole IP and there won't be any issues?

 

(In the past it would change the subnet mask / IPs of everything on my local network because you couldn't have the LAN and WAN DNS servers be the same IP or something)

 

I was thinking about just giving it a shot, but I have so many carefully-set-up devices on my network, I'd hate to have them all go offline or get new IPs.

 

Thanks!

Hi, I tested on Deco X68 with 1.2.3 firmware and it still does not allow WAN DNS in the same IP subnet as LAN.

Best regards.
