  1. Learned about #splitdns today. i have experimented with #blocky dns server which worked fine now i want to try out with split dns I guess it won't cut out for this so alternative would be #AdGuardHome which is written in #go and the release are single binary (easy to test) with web ui.

    TLDR: Split DNS, or split-horizon DNS, is a networking technique providing different DNS results for the same domain name based on the user's location (internal vs. external)

  5. Love to explore and experiment, although with the summer and outdoor activities that will be a lower priority one.

  15. Can someone tell me why a simple 5 port switch is in the top 5 of devices which communicates to home called Unifi?

    Blocked it... no clue why, except for updates but not in this frequency.

    Pi-hole makes you even more concerned about privacy. It's eye-opening to see how frequently my network makes calls to servers.

  20. I had blocky installed on Freebsd but to enhance visibility and ease of use looking at graphs etc I added PIHole

    wow... just running for 30minutes so.

  24. @blindcoder Just looked up the #DNS ad blocking landscape last night.

    Seems like #PiHole is slowly coming out of fashion and more seen as the "simple beginner's tool". #AdGuard is what most people seem to use nowadays. (That's also what's integrated into #GLiNet routers!) And the real geeks apparently use #Technitium (.NET!).

    Some pay for #NextDNS.io as they don't want to host "such essential service" themselves. Also, you can use it from everywhere without the need for VPN tunnels or open ports into your home for DoH/DoT.

    And #Blocky got honorary mentions from some masochists.

  25. I've essentially wasted the entire day messing around with #Blocky, setting up #Telegraf and building a dashboard from the Blocky data. I definitely did NOT need to be working on that... :nkoCrying: :nkoFacePalm:

  26. #Linux #Dns #Blocky
    Y'a des utilisateurs de Blocky, ici ?
    J'ai un soucis.
    Je l'ai configuré en DNS "normal", DoT et DoH.
    J'ai configuré Firefox pour pointer sur le DoH. Dans les logs de Blocky le vois bien arriver les requêtes de Firefox et il y répond bien (response_type=RESOLVED) mais ne semble jamais utiliser le cache (jamais response_type=CACHED).

    Quand je fais des "dig" sur le port non chiffré, je vois bien des mises en cache.

    Une idée ?

  27. I moved all my servers at home over to their own profile in #NextDNS. They no longer go through my local #Blocky instance. Other devices (desktops, laptops, mobile devices, etc...) seem to be loading services much quicker now.

  28. In den letzten Tagen wurde eine Blockliste geteilt, dass die Webseiten vom Axel Springer Konzern geblockt werden.

    Habe die endlich mal zu meinem Werbeblocker #blocky hinzugefügt. Dazu auch mal einen Blogbeitrag (teqqy.de/3-dns-blocklisten-fue ) damit aktualisiert.

  29. Today I found #Blocky. A cool #PiHole alternative that is available in the nix packages. I configure Blocky, integrate it into Grafana and find that I can't edit the DHCP Server in my plastic router. Now I'm sitting here and looking at how I can build my own #NixOS router. Typical course of projects. -.-

  30. Note to self: When converting a Kubernetes cluster with Cilium as CNI to replace MetalLB with Cilium's new L2 announcements, you need to tweak some settings in your Cilium installation. Especially enabling Cilium to act as a kube-proxy replacement (if you are not already doing so) and enabling the l2 announcements. Which means kube-proxy needs to be disabled in k3s.

    In other words: k3s on my Raspi4 is now providing a loadbalancer to blocky using Cilium's L2 announcements...

  31. Pihole on Freebsd? noGo and it is limited compared to Blocky
    So a bit of searching did the trick:

    I setup Blocky Grafana Prometheus node-exporter and more on a Freebsd jail to block ads / get insight into my network (and peers).

    I used these guides and they helped me a lot: thanks to the authors!

    Monitoring setup:
    mostly-bsd.github.io/post/moni
    Blocky
    riesinger.dev/posts/ha-dns-adb
    Dashboard for Blocky (and postgres):
    grafana.com/grafana/dashboards

    dummy screenshots ;)
