wireguard-install VS nextdns

after that u can simply run this script https://github.com/Nyr/wireguard-install that helps you automatically install wireguard and create a config ( to add more configs just run it again ). This script also generates QR code that you can simply scan by ur phone

I currently have WG set up on a Linode Ubuntu server (installed from https://github.com/Nyr/wireguard-install) with Pihole setup in the background. I have everything working just fine, except for some websites showing as "Page cannot be displayed". I've looked up in the subreddit and some have recommended changing the MTU (which I've tried on server/client), but that doesn't resolve the issue. In Pihole, it shows that it responds correctly. I did enable IPv6, but this happened before adding IPv6. Running curl from SSH to access the affected site, it tells me 301 Site moved permanently. Here's the server config:

As for the VPN: I always use this installer on a raspy pi (you can do this on a virtual machine): https://github.com/Nyr/wireguard-install But that is only because I hate having to set up keys.

So I got a Libre AML-S905X-CC (Le Potato) to play around with but all the ideas I see online are about emulating games, running a nas, running ad blocker, vpn server, 3d printer, website hosting. All these just seem like these would be better to run on an actual server or the ideas are lame, basic, and overused. I just want some useful things that only these single board computers can do to justify their purpose. I like stuff like the PiKVM or wireless usb like VirtualHere. The Arduino has their spot for robotics and what not, but what do SBC have to offer besides being small and broad purpose? Stuff like can I make it auto start my car in the morning, attached it to a pcie port on my pc, make a cellular wifi hotspot modem thing, make a smart tv, make a robot with AI, bypass wifi router settings, make a smart door deadbolt or smart window blinds, AI caht bots, transmit landline calls to the internet, drones with facial recognition, spy balloons, kiss under the bicycle racks in walmart, watch the rat movie that cooks food, ratatoot toot, overthrow the government? Those types of ideas are stuff I see as useful but also I want to look up later if those are something that exists already.

Block 45.76.93.104 and 2001:19f0:6c00:1b0e:5400:4ff:fecd:7828 at the firewall if possible.

Ensure that DNS-over-HTTP (DoH) is enabled where it can be.

Set upstream DNS servers that block malware, such as 1.1.1.2 or NextDNS

Delete "fritz.box" from the domain search list in DNS settings.

Educate your parents to be cautious about directly typing domain names or searching from the OmniBox.

I've tried hosted Pi-Hole and AdGuard Home. They are good as long as I'm around to fix stuffs. Then I tested something which can be global (home) and also for individual devices -- Control-D, NextDNS, and Adguard DNS. All of them works pretty well. If I really have to choose, then it would be in the order of NextDNS > Control-D > AdGuard DNS. Affiliated with none, and have decided to subscribe to all three to further test them for this year.

Okay but NextDNS' own homepage says it "blocks ads and trackers on websites and in apps" - https://nextdns.io

I first used Safari on Windows around 2006. Put me off forever.

You just need Firefox and the extensions that mean ads are never seen.

That said, take a look at https://nextdns.io

just run snort and get nextdns.io account and use those DNS servers to control your DNS.

I'm using NextDNS which can be integrated into TailScale MagicDNS. It works seamlessly. You may need to pay if you have a high usage rate. I pay for the Pro version but that's less than $30 CAD a year. I did have in house Raspberry PI and Pi-Hole DNS but it was a lot of work.

pretty much to the same effect of a pihole, yet you can get up and running in minutes. You can then configure wherever you please: your browser, your laptop, your phone, or even your router.
