Tailscale plus Pi-hole gives you DNS control that Apple and Google will never allow
Tailscale and Pi-hole can be combined to create a private DNS solution that offers users greater control over their data. Unlike Apple's iCloud Private Relay and Google's Private DNS, which do not provide full transparency, this self-owned solution allows users to filter and monitor their DNS queries. This approach addresses privacy concerns by eliminating reliance on third-party services that may still track user activity.
- ▪Tailscale and Pi-hole together create a private, filtered DNS layer for users.
- ▪Apple's iCloud Private Relay and Google's Private DNS do not offer complete transparency regarding user data.
- ▪Using Tailscale and Pi-hole allows users to monitor and control their DNS queries effectively.
