Comment on Self-Hosting a DNS Sinkhole is really important
Reannlegge@lemmy.ca 8 hours agoI have a finally tuned pihole that offers different blocking for different vLANs on my home network and VPNs, I would not trust a third party for ad blocking. However you do you.
I was watching SomeOrdanryGamers video on this and his pihole did not block all the ads on an ad infected site, but mine could. I have used canyoublockit many times to stress test my system, wish there was something newer though.

Trust it, no.
Is it better than nothing yes.
Listen, some folks can afford to build and dedicate time and resources to making a pi-hole for their network.
Those who can’t need to know there are alternatives, some are better than others, I’m just sharing information.

I meant no shade, I know it takes a lot of work to do everything I have done for security/ad blocking.
