## Complete Privacy Stack: Pi-hole + Unbound + WireGuard

**Why this combo?**
- Pi-hole: Blocks ads/trackers at DNS level
- Unbound: DNS resolver (no third-party DNS)
- WireGuard: Secure VPN for remote access

**Setup steps:**
1. Install Ubuntu Server on Raspberry Pi
2. Install Pi-hole: `curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash`
3. Install Unbound: `sudo apt install unbound`
4. Configure Pi-hole to use Unbound
5. Install WireGuard: `sudo apt install wireguard`

**Benefits:**
- Faster DNS resolution (cached locally)
- Complete DNS privacy
- Ad/tracker blocking
- Secure remote access
 
Excellent guide! I'd add:

**Security enhancements:**
- Enable DNSSEC in Unbound
- Set up DoH/DoT forwarders
- Configure firewall rules
- Regular updates/backups

**Monitoring:**
- Pi-hole admin dashboard
- Grafana for metrics
- Log rotation
- Alerting for blocked domains
