Hi, I’m trying to figure out how to set up a service like pi-hole and one of the prerequisits seems to be to have admin access to the router to make the correct DNS entries.
Unfortunately, the router provided by my ISP doesn’t grant me access to these settings - is there a way around that, and what would it involve? I do have a hybdrid router (DSL + LTE connection), that’s (according to my ISP) the reason DNS settings are locked.
Any ideas are welcome :)
Pihole + bind for lookups. Doesn’t matter what your ISP provided device uses if you are overriding it. That, and use DNS over TLS/HTTPS and you should be good.

Setting up a router behind your ISP equipment might end up breaking stuff due to double NAT, but may still work for you if you are just surfing the web. At least you can control your ACLs.
