@chris this looks like it'd be a PITA to maintain but - https://docs.pi-hole.net/guides/dns/cloudflared/

@dustinrue This would work on my laptop, but not on the devices we have with us, iPad and iPhone.

I'm thinking of just going back to NextDNS. Might be the right answer at this point.

@chris iOS allows you to set custom DNS too, no profile needed for that. Just thinking a Pihole box configured with this stuff to cloudflare, while complicated/complex, would be more transparent to clients with manually configured DNS

chris, 2 months ago

@dustinrue Yeah. That's what I did... added 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 to the network itself. ATT is still intercepting

@dustinrue As for pihole... Worked great as long as I was at home but I use some of my devices more away from home and my wife needs a much less restrictive profile than anyone else so it just didn't work well for us.

@chris The ISP's DNS is intercepting requests or the ISP isn't allowing you to utilize a non-ISP provides DNS? Either way is frustrating...but always grateful when one DNS provider is down I can use another DNS provider's servers.

chris, 2 months ago

@bryanruby Seems to be both. Can't change it in the router and, even with me setting some manually in the network settings ATT still intercepted.

@chris It's one of the reasons I always own my own router. Although, my cable company is pretty good even when you use their own equipment.

chris, 2 months ago

@bryanruby I'm the same, my father is a different story. They told him he couldn't add his own router. I don't know if it's true or not but that part just isn't my battle to fight this weekend.

@chris

Can you change the dns, this has been good to me:

@kel We cannot. I've got a few ideas, just want to find something that won't lead to extra tech support on my part.

@chris Would DNS over TLS solve this?

chris, 2 months ago

@alda Yeah, that's what I'm playing with again. I've used NextDNS in the past but my wife always winds up with issues. Need to play with a few others.

I cannot change the DNS on his router at all so... Apple Profiles it is. Just need to decide which provider makes the most sense in 2024.

dustinrue, 2 months ago

@chris why is a profile required?

chris, 2 months ago

@dustinrue I've added 1.1.1.1, for now, to the wifi config under the network yet ATT is still intercepting and showing me their search screen.

chris, 2 months ago

@dustinrue Hoping DoH or similar will solve it.
