Hello!
I want to set up a pi-hole on my home and connect from my parent’s.
Both setups have a dynamic IP assigned by my isp and are different networks.
I have a couple of questions:
I can get a domain that updates automatically. But how would I resolve it on the client side?
Is there any way to authenticate on the server? By Mac maybe? That can be spoofed right?
Edit: my bad, thanks for correcting me, Mac is another layer completely
For all intends and purposes, let’s assume there isn’t. Running a DNS server on the ‘open internet’ is notoriously difficult if you are not familiar with the intricacies, especially with regards to security.
Running it through a VPN is really the best option you have here.
