What software is best to use for a local DNS server? (alien.top)

I'm looking into (finally) hosting a DNS server on my home network, but I am unsure on what software to use. I'm probably going to be running it on an Raspberry Pi 4 for starters. What are your experiences and recommendations for DNS services?

Lookup pihole and unbound. You’ll get ad blocking along with your own dns resolver. There are several near-copy-paste tutorials out there.

How do I block YouTube ads on mobile?

[–] 1sh0t1b33r@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It's very hit or miss with YouTube these days, mostly miss, because the ads are embedded. But as long as your phone is on the same network that has a Pihole as DNS, then your phone is getting the same blocking as anything else.

I had a client that needed a caching DNS, and I put in pi hole. Did everything they needed, plus diagnostics, and ad filtering. And all with a very easy GUI.
