Thanks, I'm learning about DNS servers a bit as i'm not to experienced. The speed benefit alone seems to make it worth it to set up your own DNS servers. If you do this and get this done could I have my own Domain names and Subdomains without paying for the Domain names? Or would I still have to pay for Domain names?
You can run your own internal dns names in having your own DNS server. So, you would be able to have a domain like PfSense.domain.local or even PfSense.domain.com if you do desired - but domains’s with a .com or .local etc would only be internal.
Is the idea of local dns server (Pie-hole or any other dns) can work with big network with like more than 200 devices ? I mean How much Piehole can handle ? and is it worth it ?
Pi-Hole can really Handle whatever you need, the main thing is what you give it, if you had say a Pi 4 with 8GB of RAM and perhaps SSD as Boot drive - to limit writes and burnout to an SD Card - This would likely be plenty for more than 200 devices - It could probably support 1000 clients at least.
@@TechnologyLowdown I did a new promox VM isntallation with 8 core, 15 G RAM 50 G hardisk ... I am expecting a lot of traffic to pass through it >> my main use is local dns + block P*rn sites ! I am expecting a lot from it :) let us see !
Question, and don't take this the wrong way.. So lets say you have a normal internet setup with your ISP's DNS server. So someone can just call the ISP and ask what sites you are looking at, such as the Police. Is DNS how they are able to look at your history or is there other ways they can see? If you host your own DNS and encrypt it, lets say through your router or a Linux box locally, would they be able to just as easily see your traffic? I am studying cyber security as a hobby and this is just of of many questions I have on how to both protect yourself and how the systems work when someone asks what you have been doing.
If you run your DNS internally and send your DNS queries to your upstream provided be it cloudflare or some other provided that allows for encryption than yes - This is one way of making what you're doing harder to detect. Ideally, you would want your DNS server to resolve DNS upstream via it's own VPN connection to say a provided in another country - But, then your DNS queries would be slower (unless they're cached). But at the end of the day, depending on the client - The computer your requesting a website with the download of data from that website will still be via your ISP's IP address - So, your provided or law enforcement etc could still detect what sites you're going to by the IP address that you're connecting to. Though, if the IP of the server you're connecting to is a shared web host - There could be hundreds of sites on a single IP. At the end of the day, there's only one way to hide your traffic via a VPN to another entity.

By your own domain network are you referring to services such as Active Directory for example?

@@TechnologyLowdown That's amazing thank you so much. Really appreciate it
This video led me to Pi-Hole. Thanks!
How can I run my own DNS server? thanks
One important question, Are there any "DISADVANTAGES" of using a home made Pi Hole DNS Server rather than Google or Cloudflare's DNS !
Not really any disadvantages as after your start using one - Your DNS queries will be cached - So, faster than having to go out to the web.

I want to make my own MySQL server running at my home and should be accessed through internet. What is the procedure
