I’ve been using pi-hole for the last 3 or 4 years and I’m pretty satisfied with it. Now I’m thinking about the next step. Nowadays I have my local network and a tailscale to access my hosts. I’m thinking about a DNS solutions to solve the names on the locla network and thru tailscale simultanely, while been able to block ads on DNS like pi-hole do. What do you think would be a better solution for this next step? I’ve only used bind before, but I think and old dog can learn a new trick.

    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.

    But it’s so rock solid and good…

      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.
