I’ve been aware of pi-hole for a while now, but never bothered with it because I do most web browsing on a laptop where browser extensions like uBlock origin are good enough. However, with multiple streaming services starting to insert adds into my paid subscriptions, I’m looking to upgrade to a network blocker that will also cover the apps on my smart TV.

I run most of my self hosted services on a proxmox server, so I’d like something that’ll run as an LXC container or a VM. I’m also vaguely aware that various competing applications have come out since pi-hole first gained popularity. Is pi-hole still the best thing going, or are there better options?

    Probably not, but anyway it’s pretty cool to have an option to do this kind of stuff

    You can set up this dns on your phone, laptop, without a need of vpn (although vpns are cool, especially tailscale)

    But, are you always connected to the vpn? Or even to connect to the vpn itself you probably need dns, why would not use your own
