Don't even have to go that far. Just have it multiply two 3 or 4-digit numbers. It'll give an incorrect answer somewhere in the ballpark of the right answer.

Mainly because you can set it to hand out a configured TTL - I set it to provide a min value of 2400 (40 mins) so the frequency of queries reduces and most other queries from across the LAN get answered locally from the pihole cache

The best config I've found is to have the pihole use NextDNS as its upstream server and have the DHCP server on the router hand out the pihole's ip as the DNS server. Have tailscale set up on the pihole as a subnet router so it gi

The only correct answer to that should be that you let people maintain their own filters (blocklists and allowlists) so they can see messages they want to receive and not see what they don't want to. Also, you might let people apply su
