What are the chances of 'DNS relay' being an optional feature in the future?

Unfortunately that's not possible on 90% of my connected devices - smart TVs, WiFi cameras, printer, etc.

I'm not sure how you got this to work properly, as the only IP address my Pi Hole sees is my router's IP as all DNS queries are sent through my router first. It's a purposeful Netgear feature called DNS relay.

Is there a workaround for this? The XR500 is the only router I've ever owned that does this...

That is incorrect. This page is just a GUI for /etc/hosts basically.

Hello all, I recently installed Pi-hole on a Raspberry Pi to use as a local DNS resolver and ad blocker. Normally, in the Pi-hole logs you will see activity broken down by local IP of device (see attachment). With the XR500 all DNS requests are coming through 192.168.1.1 which according to Pi-hole documentation, is potentially the fault of the router. Does anyone know how I can change this? Thanks!
