This looks great.

Qs: this says “ Technitium DNS Server is an open source authoritative as well as recursive DNS server”

Are pi-hole/Adgyard also recursive DNS server or just a blockers?

Edit: I’ve been using pi-hole for ages, trying to figure out if this has any advantage.

Can't speak to Adguard:

PiHole isn't natively recursive, but you can easily set up a service alongside pihole on the pi (or in another docker, if your pihole is a container) called Unbound which provides recursive DNS.

Thanks, I’ll take a look at Unbound. I have it running on a Pi.

I had a pfsense, which died a few days ago while upgrading from 2.6 to 2.7. I believe it was running Unbound.
