Then do you have a suggested alternative?
- ProllyInfamous 2y ago/r/PiHole I run four, locally [50+ users]. Local DNS Server issues default lookup server @x.x.x.2 (e.g. minimal blocklist PageAd, CloudFare), for maximal client compatibility. Users can thereafter upgrade levels of blocking by manually increasing DNS IP +1 (e.g. x.x.x.3 for stricter blocking, whereas default x.2 only blocks seven very common trackers), at host-level. They can also manually enter x.x.x.1 and thereafter have no DNS-restrictions [this is the router itself, which each x.x.x.N itself resolves to, via our ISP's own DNS serverlist]. Our x.x.x.5 is top-notch white-page browsing, but many applications won't work (e.g. banking; although surprisingly Youtube still works although you do have to watch pre-roll ads). I have one user who there-after has his own local subnet/PiHole, although you can hop-up to PiHoles, as long as the subnet is a child or sibling of that DNS-resolver.
