Beyond Pi-Hole (lemmy.zip)

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’ve been using technitium dns server for this. It is an all in one solution and is working well for me through tailscale as a global name server.

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.

But it's so rock solid and good..

Another +1 for Technitium DNS if you're comfortable with the basics and want some more control. You can use the Split Horizon "app" in Technitium to return either the Tailnet or LAN IP for the same domain depending on the client IP. It's awesome! It also does DNS ad blocking and the log querying is great. Honestly I've ended up playing with so many features I didn't even know I wanted.
