Our take
The do-it-yourself answer that beats every hosted DNS blocker on one axis: your queries never leave your network, because you run the server. The price is that you maintain it, on a Raspberry Pi, a container, or a spare box, and a misconfigured Pi-hole can break things until you fix it. Pick it when you want total control and no third party seeing your DNS, and you don’t mind being your own admin. Anyone who’d rather not run infrastructure should use a hosted service like NextDNS.
