DNS isn’t supposed to control that much PIhole is a hack, it would be more accurate to say PIhole controls so much behind the scenes. DNS is supposed to do exactly this domain.com->1.2.3.4 nothing more and nothing less anything else is a hack when cloud flair runs all your traffic traffic through a proxy that is them hacking the system domain.com->change-1.2.3.4

Does Pi Hole do anything Ad Guard’s Public DNS servers can’t? adguard-dns.io/en/public-dns.html seems easier this way which is why I ask.

what do you think is pointing adservers to a black hole and not being able to reach my home network?

A hosts list that Unbound is augmenting within PiHole. The entire core function of PiHole is leveraging Unbound. Without it, it’s a useless GUI. In fact, you can completely ditch PiHole, if you know what you’re doing, and simply run Unbound as a daemon in a minimal container and do exactly what PiHole does with less resources.

I think I can spare the 55mb of ram my pihole container takes up

Does this block the sds itself or do I need additional configs?
