Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So, how’s it going?
I have PiHole…it is great
I did a bunch of searching of comparisons and most people seem to be happy with either. I’m not really sure why I chose Adguard, but if it underperforms it should be easy enough to switch
Is this just a case of swapping the router’s upstream DNS to Adguard’s? (IIRC I have google and Orcon set on mine).
You can do that, however I found it doesn’t show breakdown by client that way, it just shows the router’s address as the only client.
I just have DHCP server on the Fritzbox setting the Adguard address for DNS server. I had to turn off DNSv6 server in the Fritzbox because I couldn’t set a IPv6 DNS server address for Adguard as the box it’s installed on doesn’t have IPv6 enabled.
You can set as many upstream DNS providers up in Adguard as you want. I’m currently only using google and cloudflare.
That works; but it is limited. I haven’t bothered to set my PiHole as my DHCP srever, but if you do you get much better control over who is seeing what.
