Hey I currently have a Pi-Hole running on my Proxmox, issue arrises in that I can’t set the DNS for my router and it would be tedious to do it for every device, since I live with two roommates.

Now I figured I can turn of the DHCP of the router, which I reluctantly did, and turned the one on the Pi-Hole on. Some devices have found being using the Pi-Hole since, phones did not, and I reversed the change after like 15 minutes.

I figured this may be because there are still DHCP leases active and will be for atmost 24h, so I turned teh lease time of my router down to 1 hour, so I will wait a day or two, and then switch in the night, when they both are asleep.

Will this actually solve my problem, or is this a rather stupid idea? And I would love to get another router, where I can actually configure that, but that will take a few months atleast.

All suggestions are welcome!
