Pihole, Adguard home or blocky - eviltoast

Hey guys, I recently bought an orange pi zero 2 and, as the title suggests, I want to put an ad blocker on it. Those are the options. I also will put openvpn for external connection to my network. Does anyone have experience with them? What would you suggest?

    But NextDNS is closed source isn’t it? Personally I wouldn’t trust proprietary software with my entire DNS request history.

      Well it’s a service I’m paying for, so yes a bit of trust is required. Their privacy policy looks decent as well. As it stands, I trust them more with it than I would my ISP, Google or Microsoft.

      You can choose what region to log to (I chose Switzerland) and you can also configure the retention period.
