what do you think is pointing adservers to a black hole and not being able to reach my home network?
Comment on Why is DNS often joked about in the I.T. Industry?
stupidcasey@lemmy.world 5 weeks agoDNS isn’t supposed to control that much PIhole is a hack, it would be more accurate to say PIhole controls so much behind the scenes. DNS is supposed to do exactly this domain.com->1.2.3.4 nothing more and nothing less anything else is a hack when cloud flair runs all your traffic traffic through a proxy that is them hacking the system domain.com->change-1.2.3.4

A hosts list that Unbound is augmenting within PiHole. The entire core function of PiHole is leveraging Unbound. Without it, it’s a useless GUI. In fact, you can completely ditch PiHole, if you know what you’re doing, and simply run Unbound as a daemon in a minimal container and do exactly what PiHole does with less resources.

I think I can spare the 55mb of ram my pihole container takes up

It’s crazy to read that when my Unbound has a 3 million host size block-list and uses at less than half that amount of RAM.

Does this block the sds itself or do I need additional configs?

PiHole blocks ad by using Unbound. Additional configs for what?

Does Pi Hole do anything Ad Guard’s Public DNS servers can’t? adguard-dns.io/en/public-dns.html seems easier this way which is why I ask.
