    When you specify more than one DNS server for network clients, the order in which these servers are used is not random. The following sequence is observed:

    Primary DNS Server: Clients will first attempt to use the primary DNS server specified in their network settings. This server is often considered the default.

    Secondary DNS Server: If the primary DNS server is unavailable or unable to resolve a query, clients will then attempt to use the secondary DNS server. This server acts as a backup.

    So in OPs case his Pihole will always be used if it’s available, and only when it’s not will the secondary be used.














  • Have a look at SwissTransfer. Its run by Infomaniak, and supports files up to 50gb. You can password protect transfers and set the maximum amount of times a file can be downloaded.

    Alternatively you can go a bit old school and encrypt the files on a pen drive and send by courier. I still do this as I have some family with broadband speeds from 20 years ago.
