Hello 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…

What do you mean EXACTLY ?! Because the way you describe it right now I would say everything is already available and you are maybe not aware of it ??

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…

That’s not the case, we need to install other software to have these features on and that’s what i meant with my request…..thanks in advance.

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, sor…

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 disc…

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.

On top of that I think this : [image] User20230904: 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. Is totally useless and makes no sense at all to have if I am honest…

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 us…

No problem, i understand, thank you.

On the encryption half of this request: it is on its way. This has been asked for a long time and we are now adding native DoT/DoH support directly into FTL, see also
