Playing with Pi-hole [1] and PiVPN [2] on a VPS and learned about the Pi-hole Remote iOS app [3] on the subreddit [4]. Wow, it’s really nice! 😍

Looks like the dev also made an app for AdGuard Home 😯

Watching this video [1] comparing the malware blocking effectiveness of 3rd party DNS resolvers got me thinking...
For some security focused use cases wouldn't it be valuable if there were a way to leverage multiple DNS resolvers with a strategy where DNS requests are sent to multiple resolvers in parallel and responses are returned only once it's determined that no resolver blocked the request? 🤔
Pros: increased security due to leveraging threat intelligence feeds across multiple providers.
Cons: latency is coupled to the slowest resolver, and decreased privacy due to sending DNS requests to multiple 3rd party resolvers (rather than one or even none w/ something like Unbound).
I wonder if this idea has been implemented anywhere...
Found a blog post related to that comparison video w/ a more fleshed out script to test DNS blocking effectiveness.

Oh this is helpful, an easy way to check which filter lists contain a given domain.
