After reading so much about this, I’m definitely going to start reading up on running a Pihole at home
I’d like to ask for suggestions on FAQs or guides that’d help me get started.
TIA!

Your don’t need to run your own pihole anymore, unless your goal is to not share your dns history of course
Controld.com and many othershas free dns which blocks ads

That (and PiHole) will only work as long as Roku doesn’t start using DoH.

The Department of Holes!?? Gosh… I knew PiHole’s time was limited but it’s too soon 😥

Using DoH is fine (good), hardcoding a specific server less so.

Well, you know they’re gonna use it to circumvent ad blocking. If they want to play nice they can simply keep doing what they’re doing now and use whatever DNS server they’re told by DHCP.

Is there a free DNS from Controld.com I can just put in my network settings?
I only saw the paid option. - thx
Evotech@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Yeah just click free dns from the menu
sonovebitch@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Adguard DNS does that for free : adguard-dns.io/en/public-dns.html
Pretzilla@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Yep I’m using adguard but heard they have new owners of unknown security accountability
