In the end you need a DNS that blocks all tracking...

Only gets the job done when you are at home or have a constant VPN to your home.

AdGuard or NextDNS ftw!

If you're tech savvy enough to set up PiHole you can also set up a Wireguard VPN.

Yes i know but just using NextDNS is way more convenient and less expensive (especially when a raspberry pi computers are 100€ and above in your area...)

I just use a DigitalOcean VPS. $6+tax a month, plus some other self-hosted services. Don't have to worry about being connected to home or buying a Pi. Still may be more expensive, but not by much (only $4-$6 more expensive depending on how much you use the internet), but this also allows you to setup your own DNS if you want as well.

NextDNS is free for the most part.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I know. That's the upper limit. If you use too many queries, it's $2 a month. Hence $4-$6 dollars.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Price is not really a factor, as you already have a machine running PiHole. Never tried NextDNS, but I can't imagine it being easier than Wireguard.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Does something like Wireguard increase traffic? I'm thinking if it'd make problems for when you have low connectivity and bandwidth.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You can set the DNS for your device as well

Web DRM could in theory ban this

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

And every government in the world that isn't insane would in theory ban web drm

I don't doubt that at least the EU certainly would, but will they be fast enough to prevent irreversible damage?
