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?

    I may try this (again). I find that even with DNS level blocking, I still end up using Adguard for Windows and Android, because it removes whitespaces left behind by DNS blockers. Do you also find this to be the case?

      I do find that to be the case. Also some ADs just can’t seem to get filtered by DNS blockers…. DNS blocker still helps for devices that can’t have their own AD blocker though.

        Yes! I actually use Adguard DNS (public) on my TV/game console to cut down on some ads.
