Pi-Hole vs AdGuard vs NextDNS - eviltoast

I use Pi-Hole and works great. I’ve heard about AdGuard and seems the same thing as PiHole, but you have to install an app/extension. Everyone in this community recommend NextDNS. Whats the difference between them?

    Wait, you tunnel queries to your upstream DNS through a VPN?

    I use Tailscale to do this and it works quite well. I also use it to keep my pihole always reachable from my devices so I can continue to use it as my DNS server even when my phone is on cell data, etc.

    I run a secondary Pihole on an AWS host that is also linked by tailscale as a fallback
