Interesting. So does it slow down your speeds any that you can tell?

It doesn’t really. I won’t give a whole course on DNS and network stuff, but basically it has zero effect on your download and upload speeds.

DNS is like a phone book. You type Wikipedia.org and DNS translates that to an address like 200.92.36.68

When you download stuff, that’s not going through the Pi at all. So there’s no negative effects.

Your own raspberry pi will probably outperform your ISPs DNS, since it's on your local network.

Also, just by blocking what it does, pages load a lot less, so they load a lot quicker.
