That wasy exact setup as well until I switched to a different router which supported both custom DNS entries and blocklists, thereby making the pi-hole redundant
I switched to Technitium and I’ve been pretty happy. Seems very robust, and as a bonus was easy to use it to stop DNS leaks (each upstream has a static route through a different Mullvad VPN, and since they’re queried in parallel, a VPN connection can go down without losing any DNS…maybe this is how pihole would have handled it too though).
Not OP but a lot of people probably use pi-hole which doesn’t support wildcards for some inane reason
That’s my case. I send every new subdomain to my nginx IP on pi-hole and then use nginx as a reverse proxy

I run opnsense, so I need to dump pi-hole. But I don’t have the energy right now to do that.
Pi-Hole was pretty straightforward at the time and I did not look back since then. Annoying, but easy.

And of course, wildcards supported no problem.
