I am stuck on something I have researched to death.

My current setup is i have a google nest wifi system and a raspberry pi 4 with pihole installed and worked properly. However, when I look at the Pihole admin consol, it only shows 1 client, 192.168.1.1 which is the IP address of my google nest wifi router. The google nest wifi router is acting as the DHCP server while the pi hole does not have that enabled.

I would like to keep the google nest wifi as the dhcp server but I would also like to see all of my individual network devices being filtered by the raspberry pi and which ones are generating the activity including the ip address etc. At the moment, it just looks likes all my local network shows up as 1 device on the pi hole when in reality there are 60 network devices attached, so i would want to see the details of all 60 devices going through the pihole filtering.

My settings so far:

google nest wifi - DNS set custom to address of raspberry pi. i.e. 192.168.1.64

LAN IP of google router - 192.168.1.1

Raspberry Pi IP is static set to 192.168.1.64

in pihole admin, USEDNSSEC enabled and conditional formatting is enabled

local netowrk in CIDR is 192.168.1.0/24

ip address of dhcp router is set to 192.168.1.1

local domain name (optional) is set to: local

With these settings, the pihole and network are working, however, as I I use different devices on my network I am only seeing 1 ip address show up in pihole (192.168.1.1) but I would like to see all of the devices and their unique IP’s/names as they generate pihole blocking activity on the network.
