Glad to help

U can but alas only ipv4. I disabled ipv6 in the router and everything is fine. Ipv6 if i read correctly is hardcoded into android and i cannot change my routers dns

Dhcp.

To clarify new android phone bypasses pihole with ipv6 isp box cant configure anything. Would this work?

Esp32 cam and. Usb c or micro . Works well with motioneye.

When the otherhalf plays games on her phone i watched the blocked % rise dramatically.

As a side note i had to portforward in my router to make this work.

I chose wireguard implemented by pivpn (i like pi’s)

Wireguard app on phone and a quick duckduck will find you a script or app for your laptop. Connected to your home in seconds.

Keepalived is the way. Gravity sync keeps everything in line. Works like a charm. I migrated yesterday from wifi to wired and cannot be happier. As a bonus did not need to reconfigure pivpn.
