I’ve been aware of pi-hole for a while now, but never bothered with it because I do most web browsing on a laptop where browser extensions like uBlock origin are good enough. However, with multiple streaming services starting to insert adds into my paid subscriptions, I’m looking to upgrade to a network blocker that will also cover the apps on my smart TV.
I run most of my self hosted services on a proxmox server, so I’d like something that’ll run as an LXC container or a VM. I’m also vaguely aware that various competing applications have come out since pi-hole first gained popularity. Is pi-hole still the best thing going, or are there better options?
Just wanted to chime in and say that with a pihole you can also have encryption if you point to a local resolver like
cloudflaredorunbound.My pihole forwards everything to a
cloudflaredservice running on 127.0.0.1:5353 to encrypt all my outgoing DNS queries, it was really easy to setup: https://docs.pi-hole.net/guides/dns/cloudflared/Hold on, this is not the same encryption
The encryption i was talking about is the encryption of your dns server
The article you sent is talking about upstream dns server encryption
