Hlo to all.
First a bit of background info. My router is a Linksys WRT1900ACS v2 running openwrt firmware. I have one tower pc connected via one of my available ethernet ports. My pc is running the latest, most up to date Linux Mint 20.1 (based on Ubuntu 20.04). I guess you could say I have a small network. The only other devices in my home are 3 laptops and 2 cell phones. It's rare that they are all connected to the network at the same time because they are in and out of here as I'm sure most homes are.
Sorry, this is my first post so I hope this question is in the proper forum. I have been using unbound on my pc for a month or 2 now and I am pleased with the results. Actually, installed pihole with unbound so I could have ad blocking and dns resolution together. So I have 2 questions. First, would it be better to install pihole/unbound on my openwrt linksys router or leave it as is on my tower pc?
Second question, I am very interested to learn, is it possible to somehow configure unbound to resolve my dynamic ip address? I only have a residential account not a business account so my ip is dynamic. It does not change very often. Mostly only on power down but it would be nice to know that on the rare occasions it does change, I could have unbound configured to resolve it so that I would not need to use an outside source such as DYNDNS or NO-IP. Thank you all.
