Raspberry pi 4 doens't pick up specified DNS

[SamSaBal]

I have a raspberry pi 4, and in the /etc/dhcpcd.conffile i change the paramaters to give the pi a static ip (that works great) but the static domain_name_servers doenst work, i have it set to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 but if i reboot my pi, it still says (in the /etc/resolve.conf) that the dns is 127.0.0.1, does anybody know how to solve this?

extra note, in my router i have set the primairy dns to my pi, the secondary is set to 8.8.8.8, my pc gets the primary DNS

Hi,

Why have you set the router primary DNS to you pi IP ?

I use pi-hole to have an ad free network

Then having nameserver 127.0.0.1 is correct, because its pointing to your own DNS server that's running as part of pihole, that's how pihole is able it intercept the requests for the add sites.

once pihole has done its set up you should not be making manual changes as you could end up breaking your pihole,
pihole makes all the necessary changes to make it work as part of the setup, including setting a static IP and all nameserver settings.

okay, i was already thinking it would be something like that.
Thanks for clarifying tho!!

I was under the impression that Pihole sets the DNS server to 127.0.0.1 by means of an entry at the bottom of /etc/dhcpcd.conf, like this:

interface eth0
static ip_address=192.168.1.12/24
static routers=192.168.1.1
static domain_name_servers=127.0.0.1

Is your eth0 stanza higher up the file?
