Was rather shocked to find BT hubs don’t allow you to change DNS servers anymore and force you to use their own ones, so I can’t properly setup adguard.

What routers are people using now that are reliable and will let me control my own network configuration

    That might be the way to do it. I’m somewhat unfamiliar with networking, what does DHCP do?

      DHCP strands for dynamic host control protocol. It is a server that assigns dynamic IP addresses to devices on the network which request it.

        So the pi takes over dchp and assigns itsself as a DNS server? I assume if I want to assign static IPs I have to do it through the pi from then on?

        Can’t use pihole because I’m running NixOS on my pi and the only way to run it is via docker container (which melts down my system, believe it’s trying to emulate x86 for some reason)
