Obligatory pihole doesn't block anything if they use their own dns. You can probably force all port 53 traffic through pihole if you have a decent router though.
You can.
Source; I’ve done it. Don’t forget to redirect/block DNS over HTTPS as well. Usually port 853.
Thanks for the reminder.
Blocking all DNS other than PiHole is a great thing to do.
Just setup mine a week ago. Already up to 28% blocked, and no ads on the smart TV (which makes it a little faster)
