New #Acer #ChromeBook. Can’t seem to install @fdroid to get personalDNSFilter installed.
Is there a chrome-book equivlent for easily managing a DNS block list, on device?
Yes, I can run something on my home netwok, but what I’m looking for is an easy, on-device solution, like installing a “local vpn” like #personalDNSFilter does on my phone, into which I can put my own block list, and easily add and remove entries.
Browser extensions not enough, want to intercept all IP.
@pseudonym @fdroid If it’s an Intel, reload with Linux (Ubuntu 22 works, or Debian 12) and load pihole.
@pseudonym @fdroid Linux on Acer Chromebook is far more powerful than Google Chrome (especially the Chromebooks I have played with, which are *well* past their “expire date” and won’t update).
@pseudonym @fdroid interesting problem. DNS serving is IP based (i.e. site/network configured; DHCP), so I have trouble imagining how a “for your domain” DNS service would work. A VPN provides a newer DNS server address, but that requires it to run constantly. I have set up ChromeOS Flex with a VPN and it disconnects when sleeping and needs manual reconnecting. Therefore: possible, but annoying. Reliable and automatic requires software mods of your host local DNS cache (like dnsmasq) cli flags.
Yeah. PersonalDNSFilter does basically what I want, for my android phone. Was looking for that, for chromeOS. It basically just does the “local VPN” trick, with an easy interface
May look into dnsMasq.
Old school, i’d just edit /etc/hosts for the donations I want to block and call it a day
