I've never used PiHole. Started using technitium a year ago and set it to block ads for me. I never worry about it or touch it. It works great!

I use unbound but I'll have to take a look at this. Looks great for folks who like gui configuration like pihole.

yeah, I use Bind9 at work, but this is fun for a home setup.

I prefer bind 😅 at least that's what I use at work lol. your like the 3rd person to mention unbound. I should give it a look.

Doubt it's much different lol. I haven't used bind, unbound comes installed on lots of server distros by default. I think fedora-like servers with standard installs.

I bought an extra router for Christmas, with the goal of learning some home network tricks with OpenWRT or something. When I started reading about doing DNS at home, I could only find pages/info that felt like I was being thrown into the deep end of the pool. Maybe I should just play with this and see what happens?

Yeah, it effectively works out of the box. You just need to point your router at it. Getting an internal zone working does take a web server, but that's pretty easy to look up as well.

Hu. I'm reading about it a bit more and internet seems to say it's mostly a recursive server? And only has partial support for being an authoritative name server. (taking wiki with a grain of salt here)

From what I understand yes, that's it's primary feature. I know it has configuration for zone management but I've never used it.

I haven't played with web servers much since Apache was the go-to. A few years ago, I used Nginx, and it seemed rather easy.

I personally like nginx And I use that in most of my production servers, but I've been playing with Caddy at home, and that is actually pretty nice. Much simpler config file for sure.

Ah, ok. yeah I need a full authoritative sever most of the time. At least at work.
