Or... You can put your own DNS server on a device in your home and use that.
Personally I am not fond of dnsmasq or the patched version Pi-Hole uses.
100% of "monthly requests" are blocked. There are no third-party managed blacklists, only personally created whitelists. Individual DNS queries rarely leave the network. DNS data is gathered in bulk and stored.
If I'm following, you have a DNS server running that only permits requests to whitelisted domains?
When you browse hn, do you need to whitelist each domain to be able to load content? How many domains do you have whitelisted and how many new ones do you whitelist each month?
You can still put Pi Hole on a device in your home and use that. I do. It’s amazing.
35% or more of monthly requests are blocked.
