100% of "monthly requests" are blocked. There are no third-party managed blacklists, only personally created whitelists. Individual DNS queries rarely leave the network. DNS data is gathered in bulk and stored.
- thanksforfish 6y agoIf I'm following, you have a DNS server running that only permits requests to whitelisted domains? When you browse hn, do you need to whitelist each domain to be able to load content? How many domains do you have whitelisted and how many new ones do you whitelist each month?

- baumandm 6y agoAs someone recently considering Pi-Hole, can you explain why you aren't fond of dnsmasq?
- pwdisswordfish2 6y agoThe fact that I prefer other DNS software over dnsmasq should not have any bearing on anyone's decision whether or not to use Pi-Hole.
