DoH/DoT on Router (self.privacy)

If DoH/DoT is configured on the Router, is it also needed to configure DoT/DoH in the Browser or OS?

No, but your OS needs to be configured to use the DNS server on your router. Easiest way to do this is with DHCP + NAT rule to ensure all DNS queries are processed by your router.

Why do I need a NAT rule if the computer uses DHCP?

It's not necessary but it ensures that all DNS queries are processed by your router. It could be that there's software that uses a specific DNS server hardcoded to make sure they can avoid your Pi-hole (or alternative solution) to track you.
