While i love Pihole and contributed my way for quite some time, i’m missing a VERY important feature that all other competitors offer but Pihole doesnt.
I think it’s about the time that Pihole can support natively without extra software DNS encryption, that definitely wouldn’t add any extra burden to the software.
Still on same topic i wish it could also make a local copy of root servers dns ( like technitium does or even similar to what unbound does), and then use them to navigate as an alternative.
These features are everywhere and i think it’s just a pity that such a great community project didn’t include these features yet, those are widely available elsewhere but i’m sure we all want to keep using pihole and want it implemented there without extra software.
Kinda have to wonder how the poster has “contributed my way for quite some time” when they have joined 6 hours ago, exactly one topic create, and no posts. Interesting…
You definitely sound as if you know how to develop and maintain those features effortlessly, without negatively impacting Pi-hole's blazingly fast filtering DNS forwarding, so the Pi-hole team would be most likely happy to receive and review any related PRs that you'd be willing to contribute.
In the meantime, we don't have to wait to add those features to your existing Pi-hole installation. Pi-hole doesn't prevent you from picking from a range of mature software solutions for handling upstream or downstream DNS encryption as well as recursive resolution through authoritative DNS servers that you could easily combine with Pi-hole as you require.
Why? Just because this account is new doesn’t mean i never had another account? Or it doesnt mean i never participated on community on other platforms? Or even doesnt mean i didn’t donate anything?
You sir unfortunately show a simplistic and inadequate analysis based solely on your small world, sorry…
I find it funny how aggressive people are around here just because i made a simple feature request, wauw!
Chill out keyboard warrior, it’s just a simple feature request nothing else….just a friendly feedback.
As i understand you are not interested on it, you can close the topic i wont be here discussing non sense stuff when the first objective was to just highlight a feature that i’m sure many miss.
Every Pi-hole junkie can see you're not being entirely honest and not familiar with Pi-hole's inner workings.
You can blame everyone else but you're not making friends by doing so.
I understand this is a feature request and you have the right to open it and request what you want.
We try our best to implement new features, but feature requests alone are not enough to result in a new development.
I'm not saying your feature request won't be developed, but most users already use different (and very mature) solutions, without issues, to achieve exactly the same goals.
To be considered for development, a feature request needs at least (but not limited to):
enough people voting for the request (Currently your feature request has no votes).
the development team must decide whether a feature is valuable to the project and how it affects ALL users, including users that will never use the feature.
developers willing to use their own free time to develop this new feature (and maintain it in the future).
You opened the request yesterday.
Wait until more users have read your post and voted.
