If the router provided by my isp won't allow me to change the dns server, is there a workaround for having to set the local dns server on each device that doesn't involve getting a new router?
Use the pi or whatever little computer that's presumably hosting the pi-hole software to also be a DHCP server (and turn off the DHCP server on ISP's router). It can then advertise itself as the DNS server.
That's a great idea! I will try it tomorrow, thank you.
Edit: Worked nicely :)
