DNS

Self-hosted alternatives to NextDNS.

What people say

• block ads on every device
• my own DNS server
• a Pi-hole I can use away from home

Why people self-host it

People leave NextDNS, ad-blocking DNS services for it. Why, strongest first: privacy, control.

Does it suit a machine of your own?

Not recommended a DNS resolver open to the internet can be abused by anyone; it is on the cards README's list of what is not an app card. Run it on the home network only, without Edgible, or use a hosted filtering DNS.
