And we can mess with you. All kinds of funny things can happen if you control the DNS for lots of people.

"...but is more difficult to mitigate since even a server configured with best practices can still be used in an attack. "

Basically, network servers can be used to respond to the wrong address. Nothing special there, really.

Keep your DNS private, behind NAT and firewall and don't expose it to internets.

I realize I'm necro posting here but, is anyone actually running their Pi-Hole on Vultr? I have family that would love to use this for ad blocking but aren't technical enough to setup a Pi at home.
Any special consideration? Risks about having this open to the public? The obviously have dynamic IPs so not like I can restrict their IPs. Would Vultr's smallest instance be enough?

I would assume the $5 instance would the best choice.

I have mine running on the 2.50$ server.

Have you locked it down to only your IP address or is it open to the internet? What have you done to secure the server?

Buy a Raspberry Pi kit, set it up for them , and mail it, with picture instructions.....
Then remote into their computer and change their home router DHCP to point to the Pi-hole.

Yes, I remember this thread. This assumes they have a DDNS client running and registered a DDNS domain.
