Pihole, Adguard home or blocky

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?

  • Started on PiHole a long time ago, went to AdGuardhome, then have moved over to Technitium DNS (https://technitium.com/dns/). That might be another option to investigate, it allows Ad blocking as well as a lot more than AdGuardhome and Pihole.

    • Last I tried Technitium, it took over 100ms to resolve domain names that take 1ms otherwise.

      • Hmmm...I've never noticed any lag on my end, but then again, I don't time my DNS ms resolutions myself. :) Good to know though!
