Pihole v6

1. nextdns

   1 986 3,456 8.1 Go

   NextDNS CLI client (DoH Proxy)

   

   One of the most values I get out of a SaaS service is NextDNS [0]. There are competitors like ControlD [1] that are also very good. At the end of the day they both check all the boxes for me.

   But, the piece that really got me with NextDNS when I started using it was the unlimited number of profiles. This allows me to target any device, no matter where it is (this is fantastic for mobile devices) and keep my filtering lists in place. I selfhost a lot but still find the annual cost of NextDNS more than fair.

3. balena-adguard

   2 51 46 7.7 Shell

   AdGuard Home is a network-wide software for blocking ads & tracking

   

   I’ve been happy with AdGuard Home on two Pi4s and a little home server for years now: https://adguard.com/en/adguard-home/overview.html

   I have some scripts to sync config between them and a Jenkins job if I want to pause blocking on them for a bit.

   It looks like https://github.com/mattwebbio/orbital-sync and

4. doh-server

   3 4 824 6.2 Rust

   Fast, mature, secure DoH and ODoH server proxy written in Rust. Previously known as doh-proxy and rust-doh.

   

   I've been using https://github.com/DNSCrypt/doh-server for serving my DNS server via DOH for at least 2 years. Only had two issues with it and both were due to lack of maintenance on my part (ie. not updating the binary for one and then not re-configuring it after I changed configurations for the upstream DNS).

6. nebula-sync

   5 1 686 7.7 Go

   Synchronize configuration of multiple Pi-hole v6.x instances.

   

   https://github.com/lovelaze/nebula-sync can sync configs with Pi-hole 6 now, but it’s quite a bit of code for what looks like just a few HTTP requests to get the config from one using the teleporter feature, then restore it on the others using the same.

10. gravity-sync

    8 122 2,276 3.8 Shell

    Discontinued 💫 The easy way to synchronize the DNS configuration of two Pi-hole 5.x instances.

    I'm using https://github.com/vmstan/gravity-sync to sync my three piholes but I'll need to find a replacement if I upgrade to pihole v6.

11. BlockLists

    9 3 310 6.5

    Custom DNS Block Lists (by ShadowWhisperer)

    

    I do something similar to Pi-Hole using plain dnsmasq.

    I use two old PINE64 (one with FreeBSD, one NetBSD to make it more fun), and the Ansible configuration downloads https://github.com/ShadowWhisperer/BlockLists and creates a file dnsmasq can use. Which lists from the repo to use is defined as a variable.

    Works very well and I feel I can understand what is going on.
