Two piholes at home (redundancy). Those both translate all regular DNS requests to DoH using Cloudflared which rotate through 4 non-isp upstream DoH providers.
The router is set to block all port 53 traffic from leaving the network and handout the 2 pihole IPs to dhcp clients for dns. If a LAN device wants regular dns, it MUST use the lan servers or it’ll get no response. (or it can use its own DoH setup and/or vpn out of the network). This enforces the ad/telemetry/malware blocking lists pihole uses without having to configure dns on everything.
Those piholes also keep lists/records in sync using Gravity-Sync. Should I change ad lists or add/remove lan dns records, I don’t have to do it on both.
Do you ever have any trouble blocking port 53? Do any services break?
Haven’t had any issues yet and it’s been blocked for at least 4 years now. Everything just happily uses the DNS servers specified by DHCP.
