Hi,
So I currently use Pihole with ddwrt and all is working well. DDWRT handles dhcp, hands out the PIhole address to clients for their DNS needs. PIhole looks up the public DNS servers directly (using ddwrt as that gateway, ddwrt doesnt do any dns lookups even thought i have dnscrypt setup on there which I use for the guest network dns and for dhcp):

client-->pihole-->public dns

I would like for pihole to send dns requests to ddwrt and have ddwrt handle the dns lookups for it so I can take advantage of dnscrypt natively (yes I'm aware I can add dnscrypt to pihole):

client-->pihole-->ddwrt-->public dns

Is this possible? Thanks!

Thanks! All I did was repoint pihole to the router for dns lookups and all clients on my main network as successfully looking up using dnscrypt - easy! Very Happy
