Tell my OpenWRT router to use my pihole/unbound server

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Here's what I have to work with.
OpenWrt One Router
Running
OpenWRT 25.12.1 r32768-b21cfa8f8c/LuCi(Head detached at 6efa8ae)branch 26.075.80566~6efa8ae
Kernel
6.12.74
My question is I want to direct all dns queries to my pihole/unbound server at 192.168.1.102
What settings am I looking for in LuCi to do this ?
I couldn't find the answer after searching for a good while.
Thanks
Colin

You need to tell your clients to use your pihole/unbound server.
Network - Interfaces - LAN - DHCP Server - Advanced
then add option 6 as shown in the example there

If you suspect that some clients don't use DHCP assigned DNS - then see https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/firewall/fw3_configurations/intercept_dns
