I’ve been running my pihole server for a couple months now and it seems to be working well. (45 clients, 36.5% queries blocked, adlist > 150k domains blocking)

In addition to pihole, I have an account with opendns.com for their services and my setup there works well also.

I’ve been hearing others on here say they’re getting good results using Google and cloudflare, so I thought what the heck, try all 3.

So in the pihole DNS settings, I have all 4 checkboxes for opendns, google and cloudflare checked and pihole says it’s now successfully using 12 upstream DNS servers.

More is better right? Right?!?

Any pihole “masters” out there with an opinion?

BTW, I don’t use pihole DHCP and the rest of the DNS tabs settings are all default or off (no local DNS, no conditional forwarding, no custom DNS, recommended settings = On, Never forward nonfqdn…= On, DNSSEC =On) only upstream DNS servers from outside my network (from internet)
