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.

@q7mJI7tk1 I have #Pihole and #unbound both running on an #RPi4 for over a year. Solid as a rock although new domain lookups take much longer the first time. After that they’re cached. About 6.5 to 7.5% of the #DNS queries get blocked. I’m super happy with the setup.
