I have my Pihole running and it’s not receiving queries from any of my devices, according to the admin dashboard. I set its static ip to 192.168.1.174 and went into my router and set DHCP primary to that IP and windows properties says the DNS server is still 192.168.1.1. I go into my PC’s wifi settings and change my wifi from DHCP to manual and it still says the IP address is 192.168.1.1.

Am I doing something wrong here? Why is changing my DNS seemingly impossible?

Edit: Solved. I had rebind protection on, and there was a poorly labeled option that gave me the ability to turn it off.
