I turned a Raspberry Pi into a DNS server for my home network, and it's so useful

DNS is something you rarely think about or change in your internet connection. I was naive, too, and thought that merely changing it on my Windows PC would boost my connection. However, I didn't think deeply about the repercussions of not using a central DNS server with HTTPS until a few months back. When I learnt about the usefulness of creating a home DNS server with something as inexpensive as a Raspberry Pi, I pondered the time I would have saved in downloading ad blockers or hiding my web activities from the snoopy Internet Service Providers (ISPs).
