There wouldn't be any point running dnsmasq only for a local machine :)
RE intermixing hosts file: dnsmasq supports reading from additional hosts files other than /etc/hosts (thank to creshal for that suggestion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10580082 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10580082)
- dylanh 11y agoI run dnsmasq locally (and silently redirect all traffic from a certain uid with an iptables rule) to do adblocking and ... minimal parental control on my son's laptop. it is pretty great, I don't have to worry about him using the neighbor's wifi to get around my rules. ;)
