How do you make sure your pi-hole instance is only used by the rightful user? After all you can't restrict port 53, and I am sure iptables are not an option here since you don't know from where the users will be connecting?
- saimiam 9y agoI want to know this too. FD - I recently launched an adblock as a service (listed in my profile.) Edit1 - maybe it's security through anonymity. Don't tell anyone your DNS server address?

After reading a bit the pi-hole documentation, I found out they recommend pairing it with OpenVPN. https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/wiki/Pi-hole---OpenVPN-server https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/wiki/Pi-hole---OpenVPN-se...
- saimiam 9y agoIf OP is using a vpn to route traffic, they should call it out. Our adblocker uses a much less intrusive idea than VPN to block unauthorized IPs from hitting 53.
