### How to configure Pi-hole
|
|
|
|
|
|
-There two ways to configure Pi-hole to be used as your DHCP server.
|
|
|
-- Either you can choose to use it when you're installing the app.
|
|
|
-- Or you can activate the DHCP server after in the "Settings" tab, "Pi-hole DHCP Server" part.

In this second case, it can be better to set the ip of the server to a static address

### How to configure my router
|
|
|
|
|
|
-Your personnal router or the router of your ISP brings a DHCP server activate by default.
|
|
|
-If you keep this DHCP, at the same time of Pi-hole's one, you will encouter a transparent conflict between them.
|
|
|
-The first responding DHCP will distribute its own ip and parameters.

So you have to turn off the DHCP of your router to let Pi-hole managed your network.

-By using the DHCP of Pi-hole, you'll allow it to give at each of your client its dns configuration. Like that, each of your request will be filtering by Pi-hole.

|
-An another use case of using Pi-hole's DHCP is if you have some hairpinning problems (You can't connect to your server because its IP is your public IP, and your router doesn't allow that).
|
|
|
-In this case, use the dns of Pi-hole will allow you to connect to your server by its local adress instead of its public one.
