Likewise. My biggest tip is set your secondary DNS to something outside your networks so if your pi-hole goes down your entire network doesn’t go down you just get ads.

There’s also nextdns which I was planning on switching to anyways

I’ve been using NextDNS for a few years now. I don’t have time to mess with an ‘on prem’ solution.

It works really well and is simple to manage. It runs on my mobile devices easily.

I turn it off occasionally to shop, but immediately turn it back on as the internet is a whole different place without some sort of robust ad blocking.

It’s nice to see the logs fill up with blocked telemetry and other crap all day.

Is it okay to use cloudflare dns?

Airplane booking sites seem incapable of working with a Pihole. Presumably the entire travel industry is similar

I use a chrome extension or app to switch DNS to something like 1.1.1.1 when a site I need can’t handle blocked DNS calls.
