Comment on Beyond Pi-Hole

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.

I’ve been using Technitium for about 3 years and I’m with you.
Whenever I think I get it, I search for the solution to a problem I’m having and see the developer respond and feel like I get less than half the things in the explanation. My setup definitely works and it has never failed me… but there are a lot of things where I don’t understand why at all and yeah I am also using maybe 10% of the options available. I’m not sure I’ll ever get past the intimidating phase.

I have expanded my setup over the years. And tbh, I reached so many stages where I read up how pi-hole or adguard achieved this and that. And every time it was like “damn,if you want more than the basics they are actually more complicated. I just have to look up this and this and Technitium does it by the book.”. That’s so refreshing.
