  • Pi-hole

    A black hole for Internet advertisements

  • It adds another layer of direct control over your network. Why should I let someone else be in charge of my DNS requests? With a stack like Pihole or Adguard on top of Unbound in recursive mode, not only do I get to monitor, control, block and manage my own requests, but I can be absolutely certain that my requests don't get tampered with as they come directly from the root DNS servers

  • Nextcloud

    ☁️ Nextcloud server, a safe home for all your data

  • It's fun. This isn't directly a privacy-related selling point, but I speak from experience when I say that the rabbit hole that is r/homelab, r/selfhosted, r/homeserver, etc. is a fantastic one, and selfhosted DNS is often a great starting point for many. It starts with hosting your own DNS, then your own NTP server, then your own personal 'cloud', etc. etc. Step by step you'll be able to reduce the amount of dependency you have on third-party software which in turn allows you more control, and privacy, over your data
