Technitium DNS v14 is released with support for clustering

How is this better/differentthan pihole?

Off the top of my head:

  • Allows using DoH/DoT/DoQUIC/recursive upstreams without installing extra packages (unbound, cloudflared, etc)
  • Allows acting as a DoH/DoH3/DoT/DoQUIC server alongside normal DNS over UDP and TCP
  • Allows configuring SOCKS/HTTP proxies for forwarders
  • Act as authoritative zone server with DNSSEC signing
  • Allows custom responses via plugins (e.g. conditional responses based on client’s IP addresses)
  • Accept PROXY Protocol to forward client IPs from trusted load balancers
  • All the clustering and zone transfers magic
  • DNS64

It really dives deep into the inner workings of DNS and does pretty much anything Pi-Hole does, with many more security and QoL features. Although the UI may feel a bit dated, I’d recommend it to anyone running their own homelab infrastructure beyond just adblocking

The feature list sounds even better than adguard home. I might give this a try!
Proxy protocol is the one thing I’m missing from adguard, nice that it has it!
