Added a pihole to my network a few days ago. Pretty noob with networking overall. Have it all setup up on a Raspberry Pi 4. Also installed unbound to resolve DNS queries on the pihole.

I pointed one of my Vlans at the pihole IP. It seems like my Omada gear finally accepted it once I assigned the “physical” port on my switch to the same Vlan. At that point everything seems to work when I test it. I can switch between Vlans and see that the pihole blocks things on the assigned one. I wanted to use only one Vlan to test it before potentially using pihole for all Vlans.

I want some of my networks to have different adlists so I started tinkering with that. Made different groups on pihole and added a new Vlan ip to the new client list.

For some reason it works fine, but how is it working when I have not told that Vlan in Omada controller to use the pihole IP as DNS resolver?
