It will use actual internet DNS servers and complete the name resolution. Configure NxFilter for DOH (DNS over HTTPS). Configure Pi-Hole to use NxFIlter's container IP as the only upstream DNS Run Pi-Hole on the raspberry Pi and expose DNS port 53 to the client devices. Set Raspberry Pi as the primary and only DNS IP for you LAN network (can be done in DHCP settings on your router/modem or manually on each device). Configure your Raspberry Pi with a static IP. For this scenario we want to use docker containers and leverage their default security and isolation. Also, I'm not a fan of installing everything on a bare metal - it's often more complicated, leads to port conflicts and too much configuration, harder to keep up to date. We want to daisy chain Pi-Hole and NXfilter to take advantage of both of them in our home network and run all of that on our Raspberry Pi. Manage categories and classifiers, easily create your own

Creating users based on IP or LDAP and assigning different DNS access policies to them, including time quota

It is free, and the Jahaslist for blocking that comes with it is free for home usage (under 25 users configured in the system). NXFilter is much more than an ads filter, in fact it's designed to be used in an enterprise environment with many amazing features that allow granular control. Even in a home network you may be tempted to have more control and custom policies. Although it helps to get rid of some of the annoying ads and known malware, it lacks advanced functionality and control. Pi-Hole is known as a good and easy to use DNS filter for a home network with many ads blocking lists publicly available. I'm also not focusing on extra-security configuration for the setup, which is surely possible.

I do not explicitly explain how to image the Pi or configure network interfaces her.
