They’re also leaving almost half the volume in bits on the ground.
Volume of a sphere of diameter 1 = ~0.52 Volume of a cube of 1 unit = 1 Volume of a cylinder = ~0.79
So not only are they not doing the required job. They’re wasting twice as much time and material than needed to make the job easier…
And you could still build a pyramid with cylinders…
You can do the basic records via file. /etc/pihole/custom.list is a hosts formatted file for records so you don’t have to use a gui.
I had dns issues until I got my allowed ips squared away. You could try setting it to 0.0.0.0/0 if it’s not already to verify it’s not the problem.
The lines before it seem to imply you’ve run it before. If this is a new install I’d try dropping the scheme entirely and starting again.
And then offered to pay for the BOM of the device acting as though that completely makes up for the mistake, ignoring the potential harm to Billets intellectual property.
Then their apology is all butt hurt that they THOUGHT they’d offered to pay for it, but only sent the email internally, not realizing their mistake until called out again.

I use this guy https://github.com/haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn
Open up the transmission rpc port and you’re golden. It also sets up a proxy for any other services/devices you want to run through the VPN. Supports port forwarding for PIA too.
Even if your router can issue two DNS servers you shouldn’t add a second that’s not a pihole.
Otherwise a client will just fail over any blocked lookups to the secondary, negating the purpose of a pihole.
Not the guy you asked but I had chat gpt write up a few paragraphs about how Reddit used to care about it’s users and why it sucks now. Then used power delete suite to overwrite every post and comment with it.
