Pi-Hole Network-wide Ad Blocking

Ordered a Raspberry Pi 4 (CanaKit) and got pi-hole up and running in no time! It’s such an easy setup, and the web interface is handy! Thank you again, DasGeek, for bringing this to our attention :clap:

Also, came across an interesting post in the Pi-hole discourse which the user claims that they are only experiencing partial ad blocking. Another user explains that DHCP is still being served through the router. Right.

I took a look at the “Network” tab of Pi-hole and noticed that some IPs were not being trafficked through Pi-hole, but recognized them, nonetheless. So maybe I was experiencing the same thing as this user? I switched off DHCP on the router and switched on DHCP for Pi-hole. Blam. All IPs were now being served through Pi-hole, and maybe a peace of mind effect happened on my end when I saw the devices light up green listed under the “Network” tab of Pi-hole’s web interface.
