Introducing Pi-hole v6
-
I’m partial to AdGuardHome myself, but PiHole does the job well
-
I love my pihole. Even gets rid of the ads on my roku homescreen.
-
It’s extra protection, especially if you use non-browser apps on your devices it can limit tracking.
-
Why would someone pick PiHole over say a customized NextDNS on your router?
-
NextDNS doesn't support unlimited DNS query for free, I think.
-
If Pi-Hole starts supporting DoH out-of-the-box, I'll happily switch from AdguardHome.
-
Not open source so hell no
-
Can you run pi-hole in lxc without also needing docker ?
-
Thanks, I haven't used pi-hole in a while, but it looks the same for me.
-
upgrade went without a hitch (docker), only thing needed changing is the web UI password in docker-compose.yml. everything works, UI is infinitely faster, first impressions very positive.
-
I can tell you something: I'm using some free apps on my Android phone and never notice ads at home, but when I'm on the mobile network or on a different wifi (at work or some public place) I start seeing them.
-
Yes , that's how I run it in my Proxmox.
Just create the lxc, wget the installer and run it. -
Good news! Hope they implement detailed query log and support for upstream DoH DNS next.
-
Whew, this is why I pin on
sha256. I fear for thelatestcrowd.Edit: At least it seems updating the container doesn't break things:
Replacing any v5 image (2024.07.0 and earlier) with a v6 image will result in updated configuration files. These changes are irreversible.
-
What is DoH?
-
DNS Over Https
Not to be confused with
DNS Over TLS
It's just a way of keeping your ISP from reading your DNS requests.
-
Not just reading. A while back, some ISPs moved towards replacing DNS queries to known DNS servers with their own replies.
-
I don't use pihole, but everything I use is pinned by major release version. No problem yet with surprise breakage.

Is this not that, or is Cloudflare on the naughty list these days?
-
I layer up. Always pihole, and whatever I can run locally on a machine or browser.
