You’ll piss off family members potentially , even with the default settings. Google advert links , like the ad links at the top of Google searches will just fail. This is probably a good thing to most people but it’s still someone you should be aware of and have to train family members or roommates on.
Also , if you’re going to go this route you should probably set up a secondary server or use an external one just incase your pi goes down.
Or, just change the DNS settings in your router. Point it to NextDNS or something. There's no need for an extra point of failure like a Pi.
Speaking from experience ?
