Is there much performance difference in ad blocking options? - eviltoast

I’m currently using the blocklists included with unbound in opnsense on a mini PC and I have used pihole on a pi which now operates my 3d printers instead. I haven’t tried any of the other network wide options. Has anyone made any blog posts or similar detailing performance testing of different options?

I have an 8 person household with each person having at least a phone and computer and probably some consoles or something. I haven’t noticed any obvious differences but whitelisting seemingly can’t be done in bulk efficiently with my current setup.

We are all going to be moving in the coming months so I am revisiting different aspects of the home network and trying to figure out what can be improved and if anything is irritating enough in it’s current state to tolerate a potential performance loss.

    This is more or less what I was hoping would be the case. I’ll be pulling down some of the drywall to run Ethernet beween floors so I won’t need to worry about wireless being slower at least. I figure I’ll just try the other blocking options and go with the one I find most pleasant.
