Configure Pi-hole Upstream DNS Servers

Each DNS server address is configured within two files /etc/pihole/setupVars.conf and /etc/dnsmasq.d/01-pihole.conf. By default, Pi-hole will use Google’s DNS servers.

  1. Edit Pi-hole Setup Variables.

    1

    nano /etc/pihole/setupVars.conf

  2. Edit Dnsmasq configuration file.

    1

    nano /etc/dnsmasq.d/01-pihole.conf

  3. Restart Pi-hole DNS service for changes to take affect.

    1

    pihole restartdns
