I’ve been using NextDNS for a while now. It’s great compared to VPN implementations like Blokada because it frees up your phone to use an actual VPN.

I’ve found PDNSQS for when I need to temporarily disable ad blocking, a really nice addition.


Where I’m from, it’s legal to download cracked games so long as you’ve bought it legitimately. Paying for games isn’t a problem, it’s treating everyone as suspects that bugs me.


It’s also part of what I want to avoid with something GUI-based/low maintenance.


Setting up selfhosting without a terminal
Every single time I talk to my friends, whom also want an *arr/Plex/VPN/Home Assistant setup like I've got, I can see the fear in their eyes when I mention Debian, Docker, and the terminal. It could be a case of "git gud", but I want to help them out with a setup like this, but with as low friction as possible. Ideally something completely GUI based, and very low maintenance. I know of unRAID, and Portainer, but does anyone have any experience in setting up something like this for people whose knowledge of self hosting and networking aren't as good as yours?
