Good on ya. How is this all being paid for? How are you making money? Is there a subscription fee?
It's free during beta, then freemium with low pricing tiers (something like free up to 500,000 DNS queries a month, then $0.99/month). We will tweak later based on actual costs at scale, but it will follow this logic.
Awesome, that sounds pretty good

#65Possibly a very ignorant question, this looks cool but why would I use it over Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 with DNS-over-https (or another encrypted method)?

Because it’s PiHole, you can black/whitelist custom domains, temporarily disable, see traffic, etc

#67I don't understand why any privacy conscious person would choose a hosted service instead of self-hosting your own solution. Implementing the whole thing (modulo the anycast IP, which is the only thing I did not use) is easy. I have a docker-compose file which does the whole stack: 1. Unbound DNS which provides DNS-over-TLS service at port 853. It forward request to my local pihole's 53 port. 2. Pihole forward reques…
I really don't see the point of pi-hole in homebrewed stuff like this - its more efficient to have the block list in the initial DNS server itself.

#68We've been working super hard on nextdns.io, a cloud-based private DNS service that gives you full control over what is allowed or blocked on your devices. Here is a few things you can do with it: - Block malicious websites, trackers, ads, and more by combining the most popular blocklists out there, all updated in real-time (100+ lists to choose from). - Set your own privacy requirements: you decide what type of logs…
i was expecting this since ~ a year. congrats.
main pain point for me : ads on my ios device on cellular.
you solved it.
only turn down : mi iphone SE ( os last versions) seems to get little pics of heat

Your solution is not privacy conscious or self-hosted as long as you send all your data to Google in exchange for resolved DNS records. Why not let Unbound resolve recursively?

How does “forward to google dns” and “android” give you any privacy? Still you dns queries are recorded, tracked and indexed by them, linked to your ip and phone profile.
