PiHole Not Working With Galaxy s8+

I have a PiHole set up in a VM on my home server using DietPi. PiHole works perfect for every device on my network, wired or wireless, except my s8+.

 

When setting my DNS I just receive a "This network may not have internet access" error, and I cannot connect to any websites. I have tried changing my DNS through the Android settings and with an app. Neither seem to work.

 

Does anyone know why this may be happening? I am fairly knowledgeable with networking but I can't seem to figure this one out.

 

This seems to be a common issue with no fixes:

Samsung phones have a few issues with VM and such on occasion. Brothers s7+ had the same issue with no fix  :/
