I understand setting your DNS to cloudfare helps staying anonymous out there. So if someone sets a Pi Hole linked to Cloudfare does it cover one’s tracks? Together with a VPN.

    I think the best you can do is use pihole with unbound so all dns requests go directly to root servers so no middle man involved. If you have a raspberry pi and use dietpi it is very easy to setup.

      Best advice. Set your own dns resolver, it’s easy.

        Do you expose your DNS server to the public? If not how do you use it outside of the network? Like on mobile

          I don’t expose my dns, because I don’t bother. I’m using Android phone, so I accept my phone is not private.

          But a VPN could be a solution to get in touch with your dns.
