Really dumb DNS question

Alright I should know the answer to this but alas, I do not. maybe because its midnight, who knows.

Anyways...

Trying to get Pi hole set up on my home network (Nothing fancy just a 192.168.10.0/24) and I am trying to get the router to redirect DNS requests to the pi. My issue is my router is making me put in a primary and a secondary address. My primary should be 192.168.10.2 (The Pi) but I dont know that to put for secondary (But I cannot do 192.168.10.2 again). Im imagining i wont want something like 8.8.8.8 as that would defeat the purpose of a pi hole. So what do I make it? 127.0.0.1? 192.168.10.1 (Default GW)? Thanks yall

 

Edit: It wont take 0.0.0.0 either

I would use the router’s IP as the secondary (192.168.10.1). If you really want your devices to only use the pi-hole, then look up adding additional IP addresses on raspbian and then you have two IPs to make your router happy. But if the pihole is down, your devices will be offline.

Alright i can do that. My concern is the router will start resolving things I dont want. Ill also look into multiple addresses on the Pi. Thanks
