Need low cost (low end) KVM for running Pi-hole

I need a low end KVM for running Pi-hole. I tried to install Pi-hole on OpenVZ, but it failed since it needs access to kernel features.

Ref: https://pi-hole.net/

Thanks.

    what is stopping you from buying any cheap racknerd and using that? is there a certain location you had in mind?

    Don't run an open resolver. Exceptionally bad idea.

    Either put it behind a VPN or use something like nextdns instead

    I do not believe pi hole responds to DNS ANY requests. See the two following tests; the second test I am accessing my pi hole on my local network.

    dig ANY hormel.com @8.8.8.8
    ..............
    ;; MSG SIZE rcvd: 1168

    dig ANY hormel.com @192.168.1.15
    ....................
    ;; MSG SIZE rcvd: 55

    An open resolver responds to requests by definition.

    If you don't believe me - see here post by a moderator of pihole sub basically saying please don't do this

    Pihole is awesome but don't publicly expose them in any shape or form

    What kernel features? I was running it on some MrVM NAT instances for quite a while. Havoc's right though, don't expose them directly.

    I moved from pihole to AdGuard Home a year ago. I allow incoming port 53 on local connection only and the rest handled by DNS over TLS via port 853.

    any reason you move to adguard ?
    currenly running pihole in stb ex-indi***home and works well.

    Iptables with country white list should work.

    native support DNS over TLS & DNS over HTTPS, I installed it on 256 MB VPS and it work flawlessly from any devices around the country. Android 9 and iOS 13 currently support DNS over TLS, so if any provider use transparent DNS proxy, you could easily bypass it. If you use pihole on Indihome STB it will work only inside your home internet.

    i see, you need to be accesible anywhere via internet

    exactly what i need, only for home network

    thankyou for your explanation

    Yes, I always want to use private DNS, not bounded by home network. The important one is I need adblock services. Pihole need a different software for DoT & DoH support, made it less convenient.

    I run Wirehole on a VM from Inception Hosting and it's awesome. Wirehole is Wireguard, Pihole and Unbound. No need to open 53 to the world, the resolver is only available in the VPN
