Hi guys! So…I have a self-hosted DNS server. Initially I’d use pihole, with unbound, and the more or less basic blocklists. But from time to time things would start acting wonky. Sometimes a reboot would fix it. Sometimes…not really and I was really not sure what was going wrong, but it was clearly DNS. Changing the clients settings from my own server to something like 9.9.9.9 would immediately get it sorted out.

So I went with an adguard server. In the last few days I’ve started to notice weird behaviors. Today I’ve lost the Azure desktop I was connected, and it was very clearly looking like DNS. So I checked…and yup, 9.9.9.9 again would sort it all out. So…I’m not sure what’s going wrong. I’m selfhosting these on an LXC container in proxmox. Nothing else seems to have issues connecting, and I see almost no resources being used. Any ideas? Any other DNS server I might be able to try?

Thanks!
