Self-Hosting DNS
My journey of DNS, including self-hosting with Pi-hole and AdGuard Home, using paid services like NextDNS and AdGuard DNS, and public privacy-respecting resolvers.
I’m gonna cover my journey of self-hosting my own DNS resolver with AdGuard Home, but I think it makes sense to first start with my motivations. In my opinion, the bare minimum a custom DNS resolver needs to do in order to make more sense than just sending requests to 1.1.1.1, quad9, or Mullvad directly is as follows: It’s been a super fun experiment, and if I have any major issues, I’ll likely give the AdGuard DNS Cloud offering a try (or switch back to NextDNS).
