A few years ago, I had setup a publicly accessible Pihole and asked people to use my pihole as their DNS server. The idea was to pay websites a small fee every time someone looked up their IP using my pihole setup.
As a proof of concept, it worked fine but (a) i would need tons of money and (b) tons of misuse blocking to make this work.
Dropped the idea after a while though I think this could still work -
1. A group of friends set up a pihole and use that as their DNS
2. Transparently share usage with websites
3. Pay those websites a small per url fee per user
- yuuuuuuuu 3y ago4. sell all that user data for tons of $$$. Not going to do that? Not until you got the first VC investor, and if you refuse then you get replaced with a CEO with more flexible morals.
- Sai_ 3y agoYeah, that’s always a risk. And not just that - if you only share your pihole’s IP with a small group of friends, do you really want to know when they ask your pihole to resolve some shady url?
