Beyond Pi-Hole (lemmy.zip)
submitted 10 months ago by gblues@lemmy.zip to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

I've been using pi-hole for the last 3 or 4 years and I'm pretty satisfied with it. Now I'm thinking about the next step. Nowadays I have my local network and a tailscale to access my hosts. I'm thinking about a DNS solutions to solve the names on the locla network and thru tailscale simultanely, while been able to block ads on DNS like pi-hole do. What do you think would be a better solution for this next step? I've only used bind before, but I think and old dog can learn a new trick.

I second this. Very light, feature-rich, configurable and works flawlessly. I use it for ad blocking, proxying all DNS requests to DoT upstreams, and local addresses in LAN and over Wireguard.
