I love the idea behind the Pi-hole: block ads at the DNS layer so ads never even reach your devices. No ads, no trackers, and no worries about your extensions breaking! Works network-wide! Unfortunately, it caused me more grief than joy. I love most things…
Well, tbh I did the same (switched to a competitor, not to NextDNS). Hosting my own recursive DNS with Adguard and DoH (to use it outside of my LAN) lead to strange unexpected errors and downtime, and my family was not happy about that. Now me RPi is still serving me stuff, but DNS is outsourced.
Listen, I appreciate the perspective, but this is just an ad.
