Hello, Im trying to monitor & control my dns in my network. I like the idea & features of nextdns but all your traffic goes trough them right? I wanna host something simular. I currently have pi-hole installed but i feel like its not as advanced as something like nextdns. What service could i use for this? Thanks for your time!

    Wrong. DNS just resolves hostnames to IP addresses and a few other small things. None of your web traffic will go through your DNS provider.

    AdGuard Home comes with a few more goodies vs. pihole. Last but not least, access control, DoT, DoH, custom DNS for selected clients and so on (you need a domain and a certificate for the DoT, DoH, though)

    I have been using Adguard Home in the cloud, limited by clients and using it only for DoH/TLS. Updates are made directly in the UI, it’s really very light and practical.
