Pi-Hole on XR500

[Kenny_123]

Hello, i'm trying to run Pi-Hole on the XR500. However, when i redirect the DNS to the Raspberry Pi the internet stops working could anyone help. Is it possible to use Pi-Hole on the XR500?

Thank you.

Heya, i struggled with this a bit before. It is perfectly viable and i use RPi 4 with pihole (i did use Pi Zero before) on my XR500.
What RPi are you using? how is it connected to the router? Can you connect to the admin console of the PiHole?

Hey, thanks for the reply. I was connecting to the pi over WiFi. After seeing your reply I've switched to ethernet and reinstalled Pi-Hole. It seems to be working. Thank you 😊

Exact problem i had  

i'm glad you figured it out.

I've also made sure to turn of the wi-fi permanently, cause after a power outage for whatever reason the wi-fi on the pi took priority and messed everything up, so if you didn't do that already i recommend you do that.
