Looking for simple set up DNS server suggestions
Looking for simple set up DNS server suggestions
I only want it do one thing, gives the locally configured IP address when it has the records. Otherwise go talk to 8.8.8.8.
Any suggestions?

A lot of people are suggesting pihole. I used pihole for awhile and it was neat. Then I bit the bullet and got an actual mini-pc router with a bunch of NICs on it and put OPNSense on it. I now use Unbound DNS on OPNSense and it has made my network a lot easier to manage & more stable.

Pihole will integrate with unbound. Pihole already caches as well. The advantages of unbound are debatable.
OPNSense ban list is WAY too aggressive.

I believe you can use different lists, however I will say that I no longer use any sort of DNS adblocking because it broke some applications my wife needed for work. I imagine I could fiddle with the block lists and find ones that are less problematic, but I determined that it ultimately causes more problems than it solves for me.

I use unbound on Opnsense as well.
works well for me except for Paramount app on my TV, it contacts every damn advertising tracker known to man and refuses to start a video if it can't.
Work arround was to set a static IP on the TV with specified DNS.
