DNS Filtering with Custom DNS problem

dvaz

Occasional Visitor
I have DNS FIltering on my kids computers devices to OpenDNS Family and that works great, but i wanted to add AdBlocking to those devices as well.

What i did was setup Ubuntu on a VM running PiHole with OpenDNS Family as the upstream DNS, that way their devices get both adblocking and safety filtering while leaving the rest of the devices in the network untouched.

The problem is that when I change from OPenDNS in the DNS Filtering menu to custom 1( ip of the VM, 192.168.1.250) i can see the dns queries hitting the pihole which then forwards those to the upstream DNS to get resolved but the kids client report that they can't resolve the address.

It seems that there might an iptables rules blocking the DNS results from reaching the clients?

I SSHed in the router, did an iptables -L but i didnt see anything specific, maybe im missing something?
