  • “living off of your property” is shorthand (and so maybe we should be more explicit) for “living off of the production and labor of other people who need access to your property to do that labor”.

    So yea, i think it is exploitative to restrict access your property to someone who would use it to reproduce themselves each day (a home) or would use it to produce other valuable goods and services (a job) and to require that person to pay you for access (that home again) or you’ll pay them wages less than what they produce (that job).

    And i think exploitative is inherently bad.












  • So i had done this (with Adguard rather than pihole) and i think i was getting caching issues. Whether or not i was, though, i removed it and it looks like my router is handling it all just fine without the rewrite on the local DNS server.

    Some folks mentioned “hairpin NAT” - i was reading the wiki on NAT last night but didnt get to hairpin, but that appears to be what is happening.

    The conclusion is - my setup had been doing what i want the whole time without any DNS fiddling. I updated the original post with the speedtests.
