Hi,

do you use any DNS provider with malicious blocking? Do you have any experience with Quad9?

Thank you

Basically three approaches:

  • use external DNS server with this functionality
  • use internal DNS server with this functionality
  • use AdList *)

You can use CloudFlare resolvers ? (I use them “upstream” for the requests my Pihole makes to the outside world)

ControlD has been solid for me. You can choose what you want to block (malware, spam, adult, social, ads, etc) or keep wide open unfiltered. They support standard DNS, DoH & DoT.
