It's just a self hosted DNS so there shouldn't be any speed reduction (goes straight to Google's DNS if it's not blocked). It very different from ublock origin

It's just a self hosted DNS so there shouldn't be any speed reduction (goes straight to Google's DNS if it's not blocked). It very different from ublock origin that reads the html directly from the website. Since it's DNS based, it's not perfect hence why they recommend using pihole + ublock origin. The nice thing about it is that it blocks most ads pretty well (even on your phone) without breaking anything if you use the right host list, and blocks all the telemetry network wide (if you change the DNS on the router).
- cgb223 6y agoDo you have to use Google’s DNS? I’m currently trying to phase off my dependence on them. Gotta wonder what kind of ad tracking/targeting they do based on DNS lookups you send them
- luc79 6y agoYou can configure any DNS server you like
- johnpowell 6y agoThere are multiple DNS options. Or you can just use Unbound and be your own DNS. https://i.imgur.com/3sVDwhQ.png https://i.imgur.com/3sVDwhQ.png https://docs.pi-hole.net/guides/unbound/ https://docs.pi-hole.net/guides/unbound/
