A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I configured my Asus router with asuswrt-merlin firmware to route all DNS traffics to my Adguard instance to catch those apps and devices with hard-coded DNS. Those routed DNS queries appear in adguard as originating from my router's IP address, so I can easily see what apps and devices trying to bypass my dns. Turns out the main offender is Netflix.

That's interesting. What IP address is netflix hardcoding?

My router doesn't log the target dns server ip address, but according to many forum threads, netflix apps seems to hardcode the dns to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.
