  • but always struggled with getting it to show which device was making the call

    This depends on how you have your devices setup to use your DNS. For e.g, in my home I have my Phone and PC setup to use the IP of my AdGuard server. In AdGuard, I have them as named devices. All other devices on my network use the router as DNS, so all other requests that are not coming from my PC or Phone indicate “router” as the name.

    What’s your use case look like?

    Home based server running AdGuard forwarded through a caddy reverse_proxy to a domain. Using DoH/3 so even when remote I use my own DNS. Works great.




  • I would say there’s no value in assigning such a tight definition on self-hosting–in saying that you must use your own hardware and have it on premise.

    I would define selfhost as setting up software/hardware to work for you, when turn-key solutions exist because of one reason or another.

    Netflix exists. But we selfhost Jellyfin. Doesn’t matter if its not on our hardware or not. What matters is that we’re not using Netflix.
