There is a way to create a dns that use oisd?
2 projects | /r/dns | 17 Jul 2022

Yes, looks like the code you're looking for lives in https://github.com/AhaDNS/dns-server-setup/blob/master/files/scripts/bash/unbound_update.sh
Are you doing any rate limiting or is the server having issues?

[ELI5] Public pi-hole server
1 project | /r/pihole | 17 Mar 2021

Doesn't really have to be a "mega" server, Aha DNS got a 4 core 8 gb machine in the Netherlands, and it comfortably handle 7 millions requests per day. But that's not a pi-hole instance because all it did is resolve everyone's request while blocking with oisd list.

Haha I know what you mean :) On the bright side it is open-source: https://github.com/AhaDNS/dns-server-setup

Should i use my vpn provider's native client or use a wireguard/openvpn client instead?
2 projects | /r/VPNTorrents | 7 Jan 2023

I am currently trying out Guetun in docker with ExpressVPN but am getting possible DNS leaks reported by this test. I ran this test in the docker exec console for my qBittorrent container which is routed through my Gluetun container. This is the output I get after running. I have also tried some other tests like doileak.com torrent IPtest. The reults i get from that say that I have an ipv4 udp leak. How do i know for sure that I'm not leaking my IP? TIA!
Do I need to install Stubby or dnscrypt-proxy ?

If you want to check what DNS is being used system-wide. https://github.com/macvk/dnsleaktest
Please, help me understand how my IP was leaked
2 projects | /r/VPNTorrents | 7 Sep 2021

I've confirmed the following: * curl ifconfig.cc inside the qbittorrent container gives me the VPN IP, not my own. * Using https://ipleak.net shows my VPN IP, not my own, when downloading their torrent in qbittorrent. * When using https://github.com/macvk/dnsleaktest inside my qbittorrent container, I get a different set of DNS server than when using it outside of it. These are the servers specifically from inside: You use 6 DNS servers: 104.156.251.15 [United States of America AS20473 The Constant Company LLC] 107.191.42.180 [United States of America AS20473 The Constant Company LLC] 144.202.14.9 [United States of America AS20473 The Constant Company LLC] 2001:19f0:5:18e8:5400:1ff:febe:3032 [United States of America AS20473 The Constant Company LLC] 2001:19f0:300:60d2::33 [United States of America AS20473 The Constant Company LLC] 2001:19f0:300:6256:5400:ff:fe1a:c6e7 [United States of America AS20473 The Constant Company LLC]
How do I perform a DNS leak test from the CLI?

Check this
DNS for wireguard interface inside netns (with systemd-resolved)
4 projects | /r/WireGuard | 30 May 2021

I recreated the simple (wg moved into netns) setup and introduced the nsswitch file you posted above. I then ran a DNS leak test script from within the netns and it didn't report any leaks. I ran wireshark in parallel, and unlike before, there was no DNS traffic on the host's ethernet interface. This looks really promising.
