You can point the router's default DNS server to your custom DNS-box.
Alternatively you can disable DHCP and allow your DNS-box to act as both DNS and DHCP. This method is slightly more complex (Really not much) and can be used as a fallback if you are unable to set a custom DNS on the router itself. This method is performance wise also faster.
Personally I would go with something like a Raspberry Pi 4B 4GB/8GB, it is cheaper and much more energy efficient. It will be more than sufficient for DNS, DHCP, a Nextcloud etc...
True.
Thanks.
If so it should advanced enough options so you could manually configure DNS, Firewall, Port Forwarding and alike.
Does the Raspberry Pi 4 or 3 + Pi-Hole not need 2 ethernet ports ?
You have many options to control your DNS.
So I have an old machine a a server.
It has the proxmox hypervisor.
On there is a quad port gigabit nic. It is passed through to a pfsense virtual machine.
I have 1 main lan. It is used for handing ut local IP & dns numbers.
For DNS , there is a lancache server which uses and upstram container with pihole + unbound. It blocks about 2 million domains. So ad & tracking blocking and of coursse bypass my ISP DNS. I understand it is the primary way to track your activity.
Oh and nearly forgot, I have another pi + unbound container which is very very restrictive. This is for my 'smart' TV.
Maybe this is of use.
You could even use wifi (but it is slower and less reliable than ethernet so I wouldn't).
Give the PI a static IP, and setup DNS and whatever else you want on it - then setup the router to use that as the default DNS. If the router doesn't have support to set a different default DNS, you can set your PC itself to use the PI IP address for DNS, but you would have to do that manually on each device (but it should be supported on any recent / decent router)
