Whilst moving my network to a Router10, I had a problem with my PiHole which meant that I had no DNS for a bit. I’m hosting the controller using Docker. I wanted to switch to a different DNS server, but I couldn’t get to \*.ddns.manage.alta.inc for obvious reasons.

Is there a way you can manually make changes to the network without having functional DNS?

Statically configure your client device with an alternate DNS.

I should have thought of that 😀

Thanks for the answer
