Hey folks, I just realized my pihole server, running on a Ras Pi 3 needs to be rebuilt from scratch. I’ve seen many mentions of AdGuard DNS here though. What’s your thinking on which is better now?

We’re a small family, looking for a basic ad blocking, set it and forget it, solution.

EDIT: I’d prefer the software be open source.

    I’ve not used anything other than pihole (and browser adblocks), so I can’t speak on them. But pihole seems to do well for me. Granted I do have a bigger Blocklist than what ships. ~1.6 million domains. Some custom to my environment. Also using Wireguard so the blocking happens on smartphones while not at home.

      I’ve got Wireguard set up too, for when I’m out of the house. Works really well.

        Same; with Tasker tasks setup to automatically enable/disable when I join or leave the home WIFI. Literally set it and forget it.
