Centralization is bad for everyone everywhere.

That bring said… I just moved my homeserver to another city… and I plugged in the power, then I plugged in the ethernet, and that was the whole shebang.

Tunnels made it very easy. No port forwarding no dns configuration no firewall fiddling no nothing.

Why do they have to make it so so easy…

I mean, I used to think Google Public DNS was great until I switched to 1.1.1.1…

If you like 1.1.1.1 the. You should try 9.9.9.9. Or better yet host unbound pihole if you’re up to the challenge. Best dns experience I’ve had.

If you use 9.9.9.9, you should try Mullvad DNS (with adblocking) or AdGuard Public DNS

Since we’re all throwing out DNS options, I’ll toss in NextDNS

I already use pihole, but with cloudflared as the upstream. What benefits does unbound offer besides improved security?

It’s actually better privacy since it talks directly to the root servers instead of cloudflare knowing all of your DNS traffic. Quad9 is a good alternative with better data policies

1.1.1.1/cloudflared responds crazy fast compared to anything else i’ve used. I really just wanted off Google (and before them OpenDNS). That’s about it.
