interestingly, it resolves it. hmm. I don’t know. I tried a few domains after a while of having the custom dns set up, and it resolved all of them.

nah, the pihole is set to every dns available minus google for external addresses.

btw, I have set local connection to true

yup, BW is awesome. and mostly free. I use BW too, but not self hosted.

one thing I’m not willing to self host is vault/bitwarden. My whole life is based in my password manager. I imagine Bitwarden inc has a lot better security than me, and if I lose access to it I’m stuffed.

I hope they die like emby did when they went closed source. No one ever mentions emby anymore. It’s always jellyfin vs plex. When they were open source, emby was a pretty big deal.

You’re gonna have a bad time if you have to email MSFT/GOOG. MSFT was worse in my experience. their DumbScreen tech was horrible. Even the tech couldn’t get my emails to not go to spam. Gave up in the end. The likes of MSFT and Google make it nigh on impossible for people to self host their own email.
