Overwatch 2 disconnects when using Windows Server 2022 for DHCP/DNS
You can try using a DNS/DHCP server other than the Windows one, e.g. Technitium I use this on Linux but as it is written in Dotnet it will of course also work on Windows Https://technitium.com/dns/. Source: 5 months ago
Has anyone been able to set up dockerized CrowdSec in front of dockerized NPM using official images only?
I recently made an effort to harden my network due to (technically) exposing more of it with FireZone (WireGuard). For the curious, I shared some details in a recent comment. I didn't mention it in the comment, but I also set up local DNS (Technitium) with block lists. Source: 6 months ago

Query regarding custom filter lists
For Windows, I've found that this software works well, and you can enable the option to block ads and trackers, as well as send encrypted DNS to Quad9: https://technitium.com/dns/. Source: 12 months ago
Can Quad9 block ads and trackers?
One option is use a local DNS proxy where you can use the same ad/tracker lists as something like Pi Hole. This is something I've tested and it works well (cross-platform, but focused on Windows): Https://technitium.com/dns/. Source: 12 months ago
