Hy everyone, I have a PiHole instance running on my home server, and I changed my router (Fritz box) DNS in order to use my PiHole. Everything runs great.
I was wondering if I can put another DNS provider on my “alternative DNS server” in my router, in order to have a fallback alternative in case my server is down, or if I should avoid it.
I’m asking this because I don’t know if the request will be handled in parallel between the two DNS provider (that would make my PiHole useless) or not. Thank you.
I tried that, devices just request to alternate dns when they get nothing from pihole. I use adgh, and ig there is a setting where you can set the answer to blocked stuff, like 0.0.0.0, empty…etc. if you set thay to 0.0.0.0, devices won’t query 2nd dns (i hope) when adgh is up. But it is best to have a 2nd pihole/adgh, i have one on my proxmox and another on a pi, synced with adgh sync Edit: if you don’t have another pi, use nextdns
