Hi, I see that the host networking option is not available for Docker Windows.  
I’m runnng pihole in a Desktop Docker and I need to allow network traffic to flow between the docker internal network and the host network.  
reason: in pihoIe I am not seeing the hosts (devices) on my network, only the router itself; broadcast traffic is blocked by subnet.  
I have been through pihole forums and support and I need to create a new bridge without NAT  
can someone give me some guidance on how to accomplish this?  
or any other ideas on how to resolve this?  
I am using docker engine v19.03.12  
Windows 10 Pro 2004 (latest at time of writing)  
many thanks for your time  
Pete
