A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Hey guys, I recently bought an orange pi zero 2 and, as the title suggests, I want to put an ad blocker on it. Those are the options. I also will put openvpn for external connection to my network. Does anyone have experience with them? What would you suggest?

Started on PiHole a long time ago, went to AdGuardhome, then have moved over to Technitium DNS (https://technitium.com/dns/). That might be another option to investigate, it allows Ad blocking as well as a lot more than AdGuardhome and Pihole.

Last I tried Technitium, it took over 100ms to resolve domain names that take 1ms otherwise.

Hmmm...I've never noticed any lag on my end, but then again, I don't time my DNS ms resolutions myself. :) Good to know though!
