[TriLUG] Linux From Scratch

[Bickhaus via TriLUG]

Have been using pi-hole on a pair of RPis on my home network for a few years. I also installed unbound on them (following this guide: https://docs.pi-hole.net/guides/dns/unbound/), so the RPis are also private, recursive DNS servers. Pretty sweet. There are docker projects for getting pi-hole and unbound working together, but the pi-hole install and unbound guide are so straight forward, I haven’t bothered (there is nothing else running on the Pis anyway). I recently pressed a Pi4 into service as a pihole/unbound device to replace an aging Pi Zero W and can confirm the guide still works and is still easy to follow.

Tl;dr: I second PiHole (though I also use ublock origin and privacy badger where available) and would further recommend Unbound to go with it.
