My Pihole is setup on my local network as 192.168.178.11 (same as NAS) and it’s a static address.

My router is 192.168.178.1 and has the default ISP DNS.

Clients on my LAN are assigned address in this range from the ISP router.

However, I have a smartTV that I want to have DNS4ME DNS for UK television.

In Pihole I have set the 2 DNS4ME addresses as custom 1& 2 Upstream DNS Servers and then I have manually set the DNS on my TV to 192.168.178.11.

iPlayer and ITVX works but Channel 4 and My5 don’t. I’m in The Netherlands.

Anyway I wanted to confirm if my setup is the correct way. I don’t want DNS4ME as the global DNS, just when I manually select it for devices like a smart TV for geo unblock.

Right now I am using the 7 Day trial of DNS4ME to see if it is any good. I also have Unlocater, but that can suddenly stop working.
