why are you paying for DNS?

[-] Thermal_shocked@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Nextdns was $22/year and worked very well for me for 3 years. I maintain my own now, but for many people it's perfectly fine to pay for a working service, not everyone wants or needs to fine tune their DNS like some. Just because it's free doesn't mean it's better and vice versa.

Never found a free one that works as well at blocking ads and trackers.

[-] sherlockholmez@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

NextDNS is paid but quite versatile. $20/year.

My Pi does the same. 20€/year in electricity + hardware for a docker host.

[-] KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

I doubt the Pi costs that much in electricity tbh.

  1. Depends on the region it's operated in.
  2. I pulled a number out of my behind :D
  3. [Insert 3rd reason here]

  1. I doubt you could get that high, honestly. Even at a high energy cost. They sip power.
  2. Fair enough ;D
  3. Most compelling reason of all, you’ve changed my mind. ;P

I deployed it for a while on my home server, but in the end, the uptime wasn't really satisfactory and I didn't want to lose my ad blocker due to fibre damages due to poor weather or similar issues, so I decided to go for NextDNS.

[-] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

How can the uptime be not satisfactory.
If it doesnt work, you either set it up incorrecrly or your server/home infrastructure has issues.

If the internet goes out due to bad weather, I think I you have other problems than no ad block, no?

[-] sherlockholmez@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Not regular bad weather, but torrential weather. ISPs do have downtime once in a while as well.

I can only do 3 9s of uptime for now, and it makes enough sense for me to pay for the convenience.

Good for you? Glad you know everyone's situation.
