Pi-Hole Android Private DNS Installer
I came across Pi-hole about a year ago, and have been using it on and off since then for small projects.
A few months ago I decided to use it for private DNS, but the compatibility with Android Private DNS was not widely available or effective. I spent many hours searching over the internet, piecing together code from various sources and testing it.
I am finally happy to say that I am able to create a working piece of code for Android Private DNS!
As a member of the open source community, I would like to give back, and am posting the code here for use by fellow members. I am sure there are at least a few members out there who may have need for this code.
Requirements
- Ubuntu / Debain Based (Any Version)
- Pi-Hole Installed With Web Server
- Forward The Following Ports in TCP (
80,443,853) to your Pihole instance.
Note I dont use Raspberry Pi to run Pi-Hole so i was not able to test. but the same steps are required for it.

- Domain Name To Run Android Private DNS Service Example: dns.myhomenetwork.net
