This tutorial will guide you through setting up a Raspberry Pi 4 as a WiFi Access Point (AP) and blocking specific DNS servers, using 8.8.8.8
as an example.
You're setting up a Raspberry Pi 4 as a WiFi Access Point (AP) to gain more control over your network, specifically to address limitations in your current router. The primary goal is to block specific DNS servers, like 8.8.8.8, which some devices, such as the Fire TV, use by default. By doing so, you aim to prevent these devices from bypassing your preferred DNS settings, which you've configured to block ads using Pi-Hole. This setup ensures a consistent ad-free experience across all devices connected to the AP, even if they have hardcoded DNS settings.
