XR500 - content filtering, sort of.
I see I can block services, All IPs, Single IP or Range of IPs. Makes sense. What I want to do is filter all DNS queries (regardless of static DNS IPs on the IoT devices or not) from the LAN through a local DNS server (RPi-hole), not block it entirely. Can that be done with the XR500 as a standalone or do I need different hardware to accomplish this? Even looking at Pi-Hole DHCP services, it does not offer this level of NAT services. Thoughts?
- I believe I've heard people have used PiHole with it before, I may be mistaken. If not then there is no way I know of to do this at the moment with the existing firmware.

- You should be able to use Dynamic DNS in Settings to achieve this and use your own domain.
Doesnt DDNS only provide a simple way to find a way into my router/LAN, not control what's on my LAN from getting out or simply filtered through my internal DNS server ex: 192.168.1.250 DNS server.
