How to set up Pihole for Jio Fiber IPv6?

[wazarikun]

Hi everyone, I tried setting up pihole for my Jio Fiber connection but it wasn't working properly. I disabled DHCP (both IPv4 and IPv6) on my Jio router and enabled it on my pihole. However, it seems that the Jio router is still assigning IPv6 addresses and as a result the pihole DNS isn't being used. I could disable IPv6 on my system, but I have multiple phones and laptops connected at home and disabling it on each of them will not be a great idea.

Has anyone got this to work yet?

I'm using adguard home(much better alternative to pihole as it's a single binary and has way more features) with Jio Fiber. You can go to LAN IPv6 Configuration> Select Use DNS below and provide the global/public IPv6 of the server pihole/adguard home is hosted on. Keep in mind if you use a firewall unblock port 53. Don't disable IPV6, you'll all the features of IPv6 and other Jio services like telephone.

I have done all the steps but it doesn't seem to work on any of the devices! like phones don't work with it ipv6 and ipv4 both are set

Known issue in all Jio firmwares, jio needs to fix this but for me I hardly reboot the router once a month so not a big issue.

It works if I set the Ipv6 of my Raspberry Pi as the Main/Starting Ipv6 Address in router but then it breaks other apps like jellyfin. @ackr8 It would be great if u have any idea to do it properly! I have tried mostly everything and it just doesn't takes the Ipv6 DNS in phones.
