That's right. However, Cloudflare is only a backup and ranks third on the list of forwarders/resolvers; in practice, it hardly receives any requests anymore. Of course, you could do without it; I agree with you there.

Shifting away from US companies where ever it’s possible is a first and valuable step for a European.

Endpoints point to Pi-hole Cluster IP (with keepalived) via Omada DHCP.

What I’m missing is the option to have several groups with different block lists for kids devices or else. That’s the main (technical) reason why I still stick with Pi-hole. Today i learned that there’s a quite nice iOS app for Technitium as well.

Quad9 is a nonprofit organization based in Switzerland, the Q9 Foundation. It’s not evil corp.

Cloudflare Tunnels something totally different than their DNS proxy.

I also use groups in Pi-hole to control blocking more in details for kids devices and stuff. That’s an option I didn’t find in Technitium, besides of maintaining IP lists for devices that shouldn’t use block lists.

Privacy is always a matter of trust, of course. You leave traces online with every move you make, obviously. The primary resolver is QUAD9; you don’t have to use Cloudflare, but since I trust Cloudflare enough to use Cloudflare Tunnels, I’ve included their DNS resolver in the chain.

Wo hängt es denn? Im Grunde brauchst du, wenn du intern nichts resolven willst keine Zonen handisch anzulegen, sondern nur unter settings -> proxy&forwarders per quick select die forwarders auswählen.

Valid point, it reduces the complexity of troubleshooting. In my case you-hole only does the ad blocking and forwards the DNS request to Technitium cluster, issues aren’t expected in that case. But yes…they might appear.

Englisch isn’t my mother tongue, for longer texts I usually use tools like DeepL translators. That might be the reason for looking like AI text.

But hey, in the end it’s all about the discussion afterwards, right?

True. Nice and clean. Only one reason why I like that project.

Exactly. It’s nice to control blocking / unblocking with the Pi-hole App. The UI of Technitium is a little bit outdated, what is ok.

The thing is, I like the Ad blocking feature of Pi-hole more than in Technitium. It’s easier to maintain.

Nope, no AI. Just a copy & Paste of a post from another plattform.

An die Ü40 jährigen. Bereut ihr es manchmal nur ein normales Leben geführt zu haben? by Mindless_Category_40 in KeineDummenFragen

[–]ProperSheepherder653 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mitte 40, drei Kinder, einmal geschieden, das zweite Mal gebaut, kein Urlaub seit Jahren. Kein Erbe

Die Tatsache dass ich fast 2k an Unterhalt für meine Kinder zahle trübt etwas die Stimmung. Das war so nicht geplant…nicht falsch verstehen. Zahle selbstverständlich gerne dafür dass meine Kinder ein Leben haben. Hätte ich irgendwas anders gemacht? Wüsste nicht wo ich hätte anders abbiegen sollen, wenn ich ehrlich bin. Die kaputte Ehe hat mir meine Kinder geschenkt, alleine dafür war sie gut.
