  • description: Sponsored: Try ManageEngine OpManager Nexus: https://www.manageengine.com/it-operations-management/download.html?YTI=&utm_source=lempa&utm_medium=pre In this video, I show how to run Technitium as a self-hosted DNS server for your homelab. We’ll set up a real internal DNS zone, add local records, decide how clients should use it safely, and look at the features that make it more powerful than basic router DNS or a simple Pi-hole-style setup. I’ll also cover recursion vs forwarding, caching, blocklists, Dynamic DNS updates with TSIG, and DNS-over-HTTPS, so you can build a DNS setup that is practical today and still flexible when your network grows.
