I host a pi-hole instance in the cloud. It's only accessible to my Tailscale network, which means that I can't reach it on my TV - unless I write a DNS proxy. Maybe this'll be enough to get my ass in gear and actually write it for once.
- lloydatkinson 3y agoWhat about a Pi that connects to Tailscale and have your TV work via that? https://tailscale.com/kb/1019/subnets/ https://tailscale.com/kb/1019/subnets/
- GOATS- 3y agoThat would mean getting a Pi, which I don't have...
- mgraupner 3y agoSetting the pi-hole as your DNS server in your router would not work? TV should then use this DNS server after getting an IP-address via DHCP.
- GOATS- 3y agoThe Pi-hole isn't hosted on my local network, but on my Tailscale network because it's running on a VPS. My router can't run Tailscale, so that's not possible.
- trillic 3y agoWhat router do you have? You'd be surprised, I have tailscale running on a 4-year old Linksys router.
- mike_d 3y agoIf you upgrade to ZeroTier you can get it running on OpenWRT and MikroTik routers https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/ZeroTier https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/ZeroTier
- GOATS- 3y agoGood luck installing OpenWRT on the silly router provided by my ISP.
- justsomehnguy 3y agoYou can always install one daisy-chained.
- julianz 3y agoYou don't need a Pi to run pihole, it runs great on a low spec VM.

- oh_sigh 3y agoIsn't the DNS design effectively its own proxy by the way resolvers forward requests towards more authoritative resolvers? On whatever local-network machine you would run your DNS proxy, you just run a DNS resolver in forwarding mode where all requests are sent to your pi-hole instance.
