Private dns server not working properly

[rabi1]

hii guys i have adguard home dns server running on my raspberry pi on port 53 so i used option 6 in dhcp settings on lan interface so the dhcp server can give out my dns server to client but only some of the dns request are coming to adguard home not all, once i go to dhcp dns settings and change the dns port to 0 then my dns server works perfectly with all dns request coming to it. but i want dnsmasq to forward all the dns queries to my private dns and i tried doing that by putting my dns server ip to upstream resolvers but still it didnt work. i just want dnsmaq to use forward all queries to my private dns server.

Block and Redirect DNS to PiHole

I'm trying to stop client DNS from resolving and redirect DNS to my pihole for add blocking. So I installed adblock and saw what it was doing with port forwarding rules. I applied those rules but it doesn't look like it works. The reason I say this is my Android phone will keep 8.8.8.8 as its primary DNS even though DHCP says use another IP (thanks Google!! :\ ) I know I could hard set DNS on the phone to my pihole but I'm more wondering why what I've implemented isn't working.

follow https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/firewall/fw3_configurations/intercept_dns
make sure to add an exception for the host running AGH, or you'll create a loop.

you only want to forward the stray ones, trying to escape your LAN.

confirm the solution di "frollic" is simple ...

and it should work fine in the DSA environment as well
