Should I actually turn on bind if I use the Freedombox as a router?

- FreedomBox is plugged into a router at home
- I bought your kit 3 years ago
- Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) and FreedomBox Version 21.4.2.

The FB wiki page for bind used to say that bind is incompatible with a shared type connection. See if that is still the case before trying it.

Tell us if you have success. I want to do my own DNS on FB.
