Another step completed on my Home Lab journey. PiHole is up and running, and I have my local DNS configured.
Followed a great guide by @chris A fun part was setting up a shortcut on my StreamDeck to turn off PiHole blocking for 5 minutes when I need to test something.
Tweaked it a bit to also alert me when the 5 minutes have elapsed.
Created an Apple Shortcut to do basically the same thing, but available on all my iOS devices!
@box464@chris pihole is great. Add the unbound DNS service if you've not already done so. Makes resolution faster and if you point at root servers, a bit more privacy
@dkoneill Just installed Unbound tonight. I do notice faster resolution for sure! At the moment it feels a bit like a magic box, but I'll learn more as time goes on - that's what Home Labs are all about right?
As long as it passes the spouse approval test, it will stick around.
