Ask HN: Which tools are the best for internet safety for kids?
I've tried hosted Pi-Hole and AdGuard Home. They are good as long as I'm around to fix stuffs. Then I tested something which can be global (home) and also for individual devices -- Control-D, NextDNS, and Adguard DNS. All of them works pretty well. If I really have to choose, then it would be in the order of NextDNS > Control-D > AdGuard DNS. Affiliated with none, and have decided to subscribe to all three to further test them for this year.

Runs on your OpenWrt box: AdGuard Home is network-wide blocking ads and tracking
I used Pi-Hole, then went to NextDNS, then to AdGuard DNS, tinkered with AdGuard Home, and currently testing Control-D. They are all actually pretty good, similar features, and it has become just a matter of personal choice.
In all fairness, when I have some time and can invest in decent hardwares, I might go back to AdGuard Home with one of the paid services as backup for travel, and when for the other family members.
Pi-Hole works really well but once-a-while, when I'm traveling, it will decide to act up and it's a whole IT support with the family over phone for minutes if not hours. I'm not smart enough to setup a secure enough tunnel and the like, and haven't read up enough on the topic. This follows similar pattern with AdGuard Home.
NextDNS, AdGuard DNS, Control-D are easy and just works, especially with the devices that the family uses. I think I bought one of those AdGuard Lifetime license, so I use that to block client-side rendered ads in conjunction with either AdGuard DNS or NextDNS or Control-D. Right now, Control-D is doing pretty good with my test-drive.

In the case of AdGuard DNS being open source does not change the fact that it is a centralized service and using such a service is a matter of trust.

[Question] Patch download extremely slow, size says 0MB, nothing happens after 100%
Then just unlock it. I am not sure which Adguard method you use, if you use a personal one which I recommend then you can just whitelist the domain that is used. If you use the general DNS then use https://adguard-dns.io/ to customize it. Trust me you will like it.

Radicle: Open-Source, Peer-to-Peer, GitHub Alternative
This is an overreaction, almost to the point of absurdity.
Risks inherent to pipe installers are well understood by many. Using your logic, we should abandon Homebrew [1] (>38k stars on GitHub), PiHole [2] (>46k stars on GitHub), Chef [3], RVM [4], and countless other open source projects that use one-step automated installers (by piping to bash).
A more reasonable response would be to coordinate with the developers to update the docs to provide alternative installation methods, rather than throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Runs on your OpenWrt box: AdGuard Home is network-wide blocking ads and tracking
I ran a competing project[0] on my home network for a few years before I discovered NextDNS[1]. What I lost in performance (requests don't leave my house) I gained in portability: ALL my devices can take advantage – at home and away – and time-saved. PiHole works 90% of the time, but when it did stop working, I'd have to spend a bit of time fixing it. At $20/year, I simply couldn't compete with NextDNS.
Note: This isn't a shill for NextDNS; I love these kinds of projects and think they absolutely should exist, but NextDNS just happens to be one of those dead-simple SaaS tools that is an insanely good value.

Higher fees, more ads: streaming cashes in by using the old tactics of cable TV
It definitely IS an option, but at the network level.
https://pi-hole.net/
It runs on damn near everything, and is a DNS level adblocker for the whole network.

In 2024, please switch to Firefox
I recently switched to Wipr [0]. It’s dead simple to use, and will auto update its filter lists in the background.
Adguard [1] is a decent free option.
I also use a Pi-hole [2] on my network.

Overwhelmed by a project
Are you trying to build a DNS proxy (similar to Pi-hole) that intercepts DNS requests and checks for the ones that look harmful? If so, I would suggest trying to separately build a DNS client and a DNS server, before trying to integrate them together. Start with Beej's Guide to Network Programming if you need to learn the basics of sockets, and then take a look at the documents that define the DNS protocol itself (RFC1034 and RFC1035).
