The hardcoded issue is more of a consumer router limitation than a pihole issue. Any router that can redirect DNS request + dnsmasq can do what pf-blockerng does. You just don’t see it since pfsense does this in the background. All my ubiquiti stuff or Opnsense uses pihole fine with hardcoded DNS including chromecast (I use NextDNS instead of pihole but essentially the same thing).

Indeed, how it is described in section 3.2 of the article is how I also did it on my home router+pihole combo. Still have add that rule 1 though, dns over tls.
