I tried out Technitium DNS clustering and its awesome!
Check out why you should Stop Using Pi-Hole Sync Tools and Use Technitium DNS Clustering Instead #dns #homelab #homeserver https://www.virtualizationhowto.com/2025/12/stop-using-pi-hole-sync-tools-and-use-technitium-dns-clustering-instead/

I set up Technitium today! It was a long process trying to figure out why it couldn't resolve anything. After a lot of troubleshooting I found the problem was of my own making in a couple of NAT rules on pfSense. Once I disabled those it was smooth sailing. I set up a cluster and it's been nothing but trouble so far. They say they're connected at first but then a short time later ns1 says that ns2 is connected but ns2 says ns1 is unreachable. I'm tired of dealing with it for today. Maybe I'll figure it out after getting some sleep. Overall, I think I'm really going to like Technitium after I get the clustering sorted out.

Fixed it! Dumb mistake on my part but Technitium is now 100% up and running.

Anybody using Scanopy (formerly NetVisor)?
My experiment of the day today was installing Scanopy (formerly NetVisor) on Proxmox as an LXC (from helper-scripts) for testing. It takes a little configuring, but it's a pretty interesting service. The initial scan of my network has not finished yet, but I did export a preliminary diagram. So much easier than manually crafting diagrams.

Not familiar with it but will definitely take a look.

Pangolin in the Home Lab
This looks interesting and going try it out. Has anybody used this before? https://github.com/fosrl/pangolin

Sadly, I am cursed with being behind CGNAT so I always have to find other ways of doing things. I'd love to have my own public IP for things like this.

A lot of great tips in that article. I'm giving my DNS a lot of thought and may make the switch to Technitium. I also really need to redo and simplify my networking and vlans. Always something to do which is part of the fun of home labbing.

I need to spend some time getting to know the Proxmox firewalls. With 3 different ones (Datacenter level, node level and then VM level) it looks kinda complicated. Probably not as bad as it seems.
