I’ve been using Pi-Hole for a while and it just caused too many problems. Many shopping carts across the web would just fail. I need to run google ad campaigns and you can’t get to the admin UI. Therefore I decided to move dns resolving back to my ER-X and instead use cloudflared to resolve DNS queries so CenturyLink has a harder time selling my browsing history.

I found a great post on how to do this at: https://reichley.tech/dns-over-https-edgerouter-x/ but it doesn’t cover the v2 series of EdgeOS based on Debian 9. These are my quick notes on changes to their directions.
