What settings are best to implement using rethinkdns is there a good setting / way to configure it. One you can recommend?
Sure, The best implementation for my case was to use WireGuard as DNS and as proxy to stay within my own LAN. Then I enabled the firewall to block everything except LAN network connections. This can be done by going to settings, universal, and enabling everything, then creating an IP rule for 192.168.1.0/24 (and/or network settings 'do not route private IPs'). You’ll see the logs/stats flood with connection requests. Create whitelists of your apps/stuff you trust from the log and allow only those. I’m certain this is a blunt way to do what I wish to have done, but I simply do not want anything to update or connect to anything besides my own self-hosted services and a couple of developers I trust.
