Synology felt like an appliance until I built a custom NAS with TrueNAS and realized what I was missing

Synology is fantastic, but a custom NAS can be much better.

Free NAS distros beat Synology's price, and the performance gap doesn't justify the markup

You can do better either way.

What are the Best Synology NAS Alternatives?

We will look at some of the best Synology NAS alternatives below, from prebuilt devices with first-party operating systems to DIY NAS operating systems.

What is Pi-hole and how does it work on a Synology NAS?

Pi-hole is a DNS-level ad blocker that filters ad and tracker domains before they reach your devices. On a Synology NAS, it runs as a Docker container in Container Manager. Your router points DNS queries to the Pi-hole IP, and Pi-hole decides whether to allow or block each request based on its blocklists.

Why can’t my Synology NAS reach Pi-hole on the macvlan IP?

Macvlan is a known limitation — the host machine (in this case, the NAS) cannot communicate with containers on a macvlan network. The Docker Compose file in this guide creates a second bridge network (192.168.100.2) specifically so the NAS can reach Pi-hole. Use that IP if you want the NAS itself to use Pi-hole for DNS.
