I run pi-hole on https://mydomain.com:88766. How do I configure windows to use this as DNS server?

DNS config seems only to support ip address and not domain name, and no place to fill in the port number

thanks a lot

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
