Hi Everyone,
I've got OPNsense installed on my router/firewall and have Adguard Home setup in accordance with unbound DNS / DoT in OPNsense as per THIS guide.
I also use NordVPN which I currently use the Nord app for (in time I may put NordVPN on the router so I can route all of my network traffic over VPN, rather than having to have the Nord app on every device)
A couple of things that I'm unsure about:
- Can I use the VPN service together with AGH so my VPN tunnel also benefits from adblocking and the additional security provided by my AGH/Unbound DNS configuration? Does it make any sense to want to do this?
- Is it generally considered best practice to use the NordVPN DNS servers while using NordVPN or should I configure the DNS in the Nord app to use my local Adguard DNS ?
Many Thanks
