I'm on OPNSense, although relatively new to it. As far as I'm aware, it's possible, but I'll dig a bit deeper.

Cheers

Awesome, thanks for the reply. I can understand not wanting to be stuck without DNS if your pihole goes down.

I'm hoping to use just pihole for internal only resolution, so some sort of split DNS, but it may be outside of my capabilities at the moment

I'm looking to do something like this. I'm uneasy about having the registered domain pointing towards my IP address (partially because I'm unsure of the exact risks and partially because I'd rather do it internally if possible).

You said you were using pihole. What did you change to and why did you change? Pihole seems the most recommended from what I've seen?

Good to know I should avoid it at least

Thanks for the in depth reply. I wasn't aware of the URL link redirection which definitely seems shady.

I did try it and didn't really enjoy it much tbh, but a lot of people do like it. I know the owner is fairly right wing, which for me is another point against.

Not that I use Brave, but out of curiosity why do you deem it unsafe?

[–] DevotedOtter@lemm.ee 3 points 4 weeks ago

Have to agree. Stuff is mostly clickbait these days. I mainly read RNZ, but occasional articles from anywhere I see posted here or reddit

After looking at the stats, it seems Maori are rather fairly represented in terms of their population (25% in parliament vs 17% of general population), however the quality of life for Maori is still below that of other ethnicities in terms of health and life expectancy.

The current government is rather corrupt (seen through my viewpoint as a kiwi, not USA levels) and hasn't done the Maori population any favours.

We may be more free, but not everything is rosy.

Oh definitely. I just deleted the reddit app from my phone, following all the major other socials. So now if I want to, I have to log in on a browser.

I have the same instances followed here as reddit, but it seems much better for my mental health some how

I'll see what I can do. I'm generally the same on reddit too.

Although sometimes the political posts get to me and I need to vent......

Yea, I'm one of those who mostly lurks.

Cheers, found it. Actually more than I expected!
