A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Hello

So I set up pihole on my new raspi, and when i set custom dns server (local address, 192.168.x.x) on mullvad, it stops resolving. It resolves for about 10-15 seconds, but then after that, it stops resolving.

The pihole works without mullvad, and mullvad works without custom dns being set up. I have tried on multiple machines (mac)

Anyone experienced this and anyone know of a fix?

I will probably get in contact with mullvad and see if they have any insight.

TIA

nah, the pihole is set to every dns available minus google for external addresses.
