Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

If Pi-Hole starts supporting DoH out-of-the-box, I'll happily switch from AdguardHome.

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.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 0 points 2 days ago

Yeah, I still want to be over ISPs replacing DNS failures with their own search engines been happening for decades

DNS over HTTPS. It allows encrypted DNS lookup with a URL, which allows for url-based customizations not possible with traditional DNS lookups (e.g. the server could have /ads or /trackers endpoints so you can choose what to block).

DNS Over TLS (DoT) is similar, but it doesn't use URLs, just IP addresses like generic DNS. Both are encrypted.

Is this not that, or is Cloudflare on the naughty list these days?

[–] KarnaSubarna@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No native support for DoH in Pi-Hole yet. Additional setup is required to enable it on Pi-Hole[1].

I use it in this configuration.

It works well except, if you lose connection temporarily the cloudflared stops responding until some, long (60s or so) timeout period.

A minor annoyance, I usually just manuirestart the service... but I cannot find the setting that is causing this.
