It's frightening what people believe, but what can you do – it's not my problem.

 

 

Pretty much all of that page is wrong. But, that's Quora for you.

 

Can ISP see your data? Some there seem to think not, because it's encrypted. Some believe yes, it can see the domain.

 

But there are ways around it. If you can use a third-party encrypted DNS (DoH or DoT) then your ISP won't be able to see the domains your network is looking up. If you use a modern browser, and the domain supports it, then even requesting a page will be encrypted thanks to Encrypted SNI. But most apps and domains won't support it, so your ISP could, in theory see what domains you are visiting.

 

But then what you do? Change "can my ISP see my activities on the Internet?" to "can my VPN see my activities on the Internet?"

 

There are other things people should be worrying about.

Indeed. But neither does the majority.

I've used this before 

 

https://docs.linuxserver.io/images/docker-adguardhome-sync/

 

 

Oh nice - thank you! I didn't realise there was a solution. Ta!

 

 

Yeah I couldn't find a solution for PiHole, so it was easier to switch to AdGuard Home.

 

Admittedly I wasn't able to get the syncing to work from my Home Assistant Pi image that runs in Docker to my secondary that's running on standard Pi OS.

 

I fought with it over a few days and gave in to having my master outside of the HA UI.

 

Would love to know if there's a solution - I've presumably overlooked something or not used the correct sync build.

I have 3 synced Pi-hole/unbound instances (2 VMs and 1 physical RPi) in use. Nebula sync does the job. Gravity sync is outdated.

For anyone who is using mikrotik and changing dns around in IP settings, I encountered a bug where the ND config was retaining my previous dynamic server list, I would end up getting repeated entries of DNS servers I had configured before. Even with dhcp clients down and no advertised dns servers the previous entries persisted.

 

To resolve I had to disable the default ND config (can’t delete it as it’s default) and recreate a new one and set it to all interfaces. This is in routerOS 7.19.3

What is ND @SpartanVXL?





The little things make the biggest difference.
