  • I also had another question. I’ve tried to get my parents to use NextDNS, but they think it’s blocking too many sites (like "sponsored websites) so they don’t use it. I wonder if I should use a DNS on my router at all because I don’t want my visitors to get blocked from any sites, or is there a way to configurate NextDNS so it doesn’t block those sponsored sites?

    Furthermore, what are the consequences of using a VPN and DNS on a router AND your phone (different locations, etc)?




  • Solid advice. I already know what brand is good in my area (Bahnhof), and I’ve enjoyed using Mullvad and NextDNS, so I already know what VPN and DNS I’m comfortable with.

    I’ve always been a bit confused about the exact purpose of PiHole, what it is and such, but I’ll have to read up on it and see if it fits my needs.




  • Actually, I could definitely use some pointers on how to improve and reinforce that Mad Max feel. I’ve tried a number of launchers but I haven’t really stuck with any, plus I don’t know if launchers are secure in and of themselves.

    That being said, feel free to suggest your favourite privacy-respecting FOSS launcher and I’ll see what I can do with what I’ve got!
