Hosting your own PrivateDNS for Android?

How do you run your own DNS for privateDNS for Android?

I am currently using OPNsense with unbound for my DNS. My wireguard vpn is also on OPNsense.

I have LSIO Swag for my reverse proxy with Let's Encrypt and CloudFlare for my SSL and DNS.

Docker compose for my containers.

Can Pi-Hole, Ad Guard Home, Technitium be used as and entry for PrivateDNS on android?

You can use any of those for DNS, Unbound, Pihole, Adguard, etc..

How do I set that up for access outside my network?

I don't want to tunnel traffic with wireguard since my upload is too low.

Tunnel just DNS over wireguard in that case, instead of using it as a default gateway and tunneling all traffic.

I recommend setting up selective routing in your opnsense wireguard and use that for the PrivateDNS. That way you won't tunnel traffic through your home unnecessarily.
