I use Ad-Guard instead of Pihole because the pi-hole software used to be missing some of the DNS features I wanted at the time, and I just stuck with it ever since. I have the main DNS server running on my Unraid Box, and a backup that runs on my HomeAssistant Pi4B.
Same issue hit me, some government and banking services wouldn’t accept my .info and .services domains, so I have a backup .com for those.
Wish I didn’t need it though, its 2025.
