Looking for the best solution to block ads/trackers on my entire home network. - eviltoast

I want to block ads and trackers on the whole home network. I’ve been using adblockers and trackers for years now; I currently have a Raspberry Pi. I was thinking of setting up Pi-Hole with AdGuard. Any other suggestions are welcome. (I can’t use a custom router, because my ISP doesn’t allow it)

    That really doesn’t sound that easy…

    Pihole has its issues, ~~but at least you dont need to setup each and every device individually. ~~ edit: I have been informed that this is not the only way.

    For balance, the main issue I have with pihole is that family members can’t easily bypass it when they need to, which is inconvenient.

      You can set up NextDNS on the router to cover every device on the network. My family is all over the country, so the app was easier for my use case.

      I set up NextDNS for my family’s devices and it wasn’t that hard. Plus it still works even when they’re not on the home network.
