I wish I could set a DNS redirect, however I have a Netgear router and the only option I know would be to install a custom router firmware. That's not something I have already done. Does someone have a good walkthrough and recommendations on the choice of firmware ?
- bigphishy 6y agoWell the first step would be to decide which router software you would like to use. There are a number of feature rich and secure opensource router software to choose from DDWRT/VyOS/pfsense etc. I would recommend pfsense. Once you choose your preferred OS, search online for some tutorials on stackoverflow. Alternatively, you can always stick a firewall in between your home network and your netgear, and do your filtering on that.
- milofeynman 6y agoI have the masquerade and other rules setup on a ubiquiti edgerouter that eats anything trying to go out on port 53 and sends it to pihole. My experience has been one of annoyance when the DNS server breaks randomly or after a power outage it can be a pain of resetting VMs occasionally. But 99% of the time it works well and I'm glad I did it. However DNS over HTTPS is going to kill this method.
