Hi, I really don’t know much about networking but I have a question about getting around Xfinity’s DNS settings. I was setting up a pihole, and got to the part where I was pointing my router’s DNS to the raspberry pi, but Xfinity doesn’t let you change it unfortunately. I was wondering if there’s a way to set up another router, and point my router to the new one that allows a changeable DNS or something along those lines. If there’s another way to do it that makes more sense please let me know.
You’d need to put the Xfinity Gateway into Bridge Mode, then it will just act as a modem allowing you to connect your own 3rd Party Router with customizable DNS etc.
