  • Set up Pi-hole with your own recursive DNS server using DNSSEC

    On the choice of DNS forwarder: Unbound is very configurable and reliable. I went down this rabbit hole recently and decided I wanted a DNS "shotgunner" as latency to a single upstream source had a wide distribution.

    Simply, you issue multiple DNS requests and take the fastest one. I use 9 different DNS servers over TLS. This is a bit excessive, two is enough most of the time.

    I'm tempted to write my own DNS forwarder but this project is working well for me: https://github.com/mikispag/dns-over-tls-forwarder
