Pi-hole or AdGuard for home dns-based blocking? - eviltoast

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.

    That’s what I’ve been using too. You can combine them to have a local dns with more restrictions too.

    Personally I just run named/bind for my local(lab) dns with NextDNS as the forwarders. Everything else use uses their app and/or gets the resolved configured to use it. Keeps everything safe and fast. Well worth a small fee imho.

    Highly recommend NextDNS!!!
