The script is super easy. Should be able to be integrated easily.

Thanks!

It’s not Microsoft, but written in .NET core programming language/framework. We have quite some software options that use it :wink:.

We’re currently impending AdGuard Home as Pi-hole alternative, so the timing for another DNS server/sinkhole is suboptimal, but still good to keep or in mind. And of course any coding contributions are highly welcome.

I was going to ask for this feature myself. I hope it gets included. It would be nice to allow PIVPN to handle the configurations to get this DNS in by detection the way that PiHole is detected. It takes some manual configuration to get openvpn talking on the network through Technitium.

looks interesting. what major difference does this have with pi hole and adguard? seems like a flavor type thing.

EDIT: heh didnt notice how old this is/
