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.

I am looking to setup a public DNS server and I found this DNS server

https://technitium.com/dns/

Does anyone know what the risks are of exposing the DNS port to the internet? How likely am I to get compromised? Is this a really bad idea?

Do. Not. Open. Port. 53. To. The. Internet.

Just Don't.

This is a really bad idea.

If you’re trying to reach something on your network, VPN back in.

How do I resolve my domain name?

[–] Rootiest@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I use a DNS server on my local network, and then I also use Tailscale.

I have my private DNS server configured in tailscale so whether on or off my local network everything uses my DNS server.

This way I don't have to change any DNS settings no matter where I am and all my domains work properly.

And my phone always has DNS adblocking even on cell data or public Wi-Fi

The other advantage is you can configure the reverse proxy of some services to only accept connections originating from your tailscale network to effectively make them only privately accessible or behave differently when accessed from specific devices
