Really cool. Great detail on the lines to set in the main dns file.

This is the first video of yours that I watched, and I find it really informative and easy to digest. One question: do you choose pi-hoel over dndmasq since the former has dnsmasq under the hood?

[@BlueMonkey4n6]

Thanks for watching! No real good reason why I chose dnsmasq to use, I have been meaning to try out pi-hole but just havent had the opportunity to do so yet. Hopefully in the near future I will get a video out on pi-hole.

I currently use Pi-Hole, but this might worth trying, thx for your nice content !

[@BlueMonkey4n6]

Just more things to play around with in my home lab.

Hi, if I only want to use another dns server, I only need to change dns settings in dnsmasq, and edit on my router the IP address of the dns server to this new lxc container? I use unifi gateway, and unifi controller software on proxmox

[@BlueMonkey4n6]

Updating the router to point to the desired DNS server is key. Thanks for watching, cheers!

I still wonder why would one use dnsmasq when you can use an open-source, very-easy-to-setup and enterprise-ready bind9 server? Is there a palpable advantage, or is it just a matter-of-personal-taste alternative?

[@BlueMonkey4n6]

Good question, its a personal choice for me. Thats the great thing about Linux, many choices!
