dohot VS Pi.Alert

most ISPs override dns requests done over http, even if they're going directly to root servers. to be sure your ISP isn't logging, you need a DoH server. to be sure the DoH server isn't logging, you need to connect to it through Tor. this known as DoHoT, or DNS over HTTPS over Tor. if you're interested in setting it up, take a look at this: https://github.com/alecmuffett/dohot. bone thing to be aware of when setting this up with pihole is that dnscrypt-proxy listens on the same port 53 as pihole by default, so be sure to change that in the dnscrypt config.

dnns over https over tor is the answer https://github.com/alecmuffett/dohot www.anonymousplanet.org

DNSCrypt-proxy (to achieve DoHoT)

Added reference to the DoHoT project in the DNS section https://github.com/alecmuffett/dohot and updated the DNS illustration with this possibility

When using PiAlert make sure you use the fork https://github.com/jokob-sk/Pi.Alert and not the very outdated original.

For those of you who may seek help on this subject, kind leiweibau helped me in this and that conversations. There is a better and actively developed fork of this project in leiweibau's github repo. So you may want to use it.

Pi.Alert - original is here but there are more recent forks with additional features, such as this one.

/u/thekrautboy probably has the best and simplest option with Apprise here, but, if you're willing to get your hands dirty and just wanting to get the notifications in Gotify rather than email, you could modify the pialert.py script and change the send_email command to a send_gotify one using the Python documentation from Gotify here.

I just learned about https://github.com/pucherot/Pi.Alert

Pi Alert will do the job
