- tga 6y agoYou can force all port 53 traffic to your server. There is nothing you can do about devices/apps that really want to use their own servers (DNS over HTTPS, pinned certificate), short of keeping them offline.
- doctoboggan 6y agoIs forcing all port 53 traffic to your pi-hole something that’s can be done on the pi itself? Are their any websites you could link to that would go into more detail?
- abestic9 6y agoYou have to do this on your router, so it's model-specific. Searching "<your router model> Pi-hole redirect" will likely turn up something of assistance.
- sigg3 6y agoYou'd do this on the router, or the unit providing NAT, which is probably not the Pi. Cf. Edgerouter: https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubiquiti/comments/6lndq4/question_redirect_port_53_to_internal_dns_server/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubiquiti/comments/6lndq4/question_r...
