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 use Technitium, for that purpose. You can set up DNS records easily and it still has blocking like pi-hole. You can log DNS requests if you need to track down where certain requests are coming from or which devices are making lots of requests. It has quite a few features but I only need a couple.
Yeah, came here to write about Technitium. It is rock solid. Absolutely. It looks intimidating at first but you soon figure out you hardly need 10% of the options in the beginning.
