You cannot use a domain name to resolve DNS. Quite literally it's the Domain Name Service, it's the only thing you can't use a domain for. Just set a static IP on your pihole to something memorable like 193.168.1.2 or 10.10.10.10 or something.

Thank you I can understand this now. But what about port number?
53 is reserved for DNS, run it on that port instead
thank you! does this mean windows can only resolve dns server at port 553? is there a way to change it?
Nope, it's a universal standard across all systems, port 53 is always DNS
thanks a lot
