I run pi-hole on https://mydomain.com:88766. How do I configure windows to use this as DNS server?

DNS config seems only to support ip address and not domain name, and no place to fill in the port number

thanks a lot

Thank you I can understand this now. But what about port number?

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 8 points 1 week ago (3 children)

53 is reserved for DNS, run it on that port instead

thank you! does this mean windows can only resolve dns server at port 553? is there a way to change it?

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Nope, it's a universal standard across all systems, port 53 is always DNS
