Well, I'm now using pihole for blocking + unbound for recursive resolving

[–] theunknownmuncher 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Um.... yes I understand what DNS does. Really?

I'm not trying to challenge you in any way. My disconnect in understanding is what unbound does and why I would want to use it over the built-in pihole FTLDNS. What are its advantages?

EDIT: I've answered my own question, unbound queries root name servers directly instead of using DNS providers. This is interesting. New question, what is the advantage of being my own DNS provider? Privacy from my ISP (who can just see the IPs that I am connecting to, anyway)?

Okay but what are the advantages of doing this?

What are the advantages over pihole?

EDIT: https://docs.pi-hole.net/guides/dns/unbound/ this page has a good explanation

I agree. My blocklist has gotten significantly larger since this happened

I have a pihole serving DNS for my local network that is configured to use unfiltered Quad9 for upstream.

I support this because most all cloudflare websites require browser fingerprinting otherwise they will not serve you the page. The moment I enable the jShelter addon, I am cut off from a significant portion of the internet
