My home network:

WAN  (modem)  ==  router/firewall == switch == uncomplicated network

The pihole resides as part of the uncomplicated network, plugged into
the switch.

My consumer router/firewall has unused ports; it could have gone in one
of them.

In any case, I'd recommend it being inside the firewall with the rest of
the network.
