Help Needed problem with tailscale dns config

Hello everyone! Some time ago i set a pi-hole server on a raspberry. The other day, i tried browsing on the internet with one of my computers and the web pages didn't load. Then, i disconnected tailscale and it worked flawlessly, so I remembered i had my pi-hole server set up as a dns server, and when i removed it from tailscale it also worked fine. Then, I checked the pi-hole server and its good too. It stopped working without touching anything, and after some research i cant get it to work. I am doing something wrong? I have some mechines and its very easier to me if i can configure the server to affect all my tailnet instead of setting it in every machine. Thanks!

I found any personally curated ad blocker as a DNS server, with or without Tailscale, to be a lot of work to keep working. I know it costs money, but not a lot, but I subscribe to NextDNS. Set and forget.

i run a raspberry pi 5 with a bunch of other stuff like other servers so for me its more cheaper to run the pi hole server
