Just a note, some browsers like Firefox do DNS over HTTPS and that'll make it bypass the pihole. That'll have to be disabled, or there'll be more things to set up.

Been running pihole for months without knowing this lol. Just turned it off and curious to see what changes. So far I haven't noticed much.

@@Rushil69420 if you're running an ad blocker in the browser it won't do much.

@@kloroformd For some reason I'm still seeing ads on the speedtest website. I disabled DNS over HTTPS but I'm still getting ads. It's only on my firefox browser

A bit overkill of resources for pihole. I would advise at least adding PADD and especially unbound but even then my pi4, doesn't use 10% of CPU for my entire home network.
