I’m actively running two piholes for years now. About 2/3rds of my traffic does go to the primary and some seem to ‘lock on’ to using just one, but most devices will swap between the two at their leisure.
Right there with you on the UI. This would overlap in functionality with a lot of other items in my network, but I’m trying to find a reason to use it just so I can play with the UI.
Very similar, but usually dramatically cheaper… Look into the Lenovo Tiny line of PCs, you can get a used model with a surprising amount of power for a lot less than you’d see in a comparable NUC and in my experience, they’re usually hardier machines.
I can back this up with experience.
