Runs on your OpenWrt box: AdGuard Home is network-wide blocking ads and tracking
The main repo is GPLv3: https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome
They already have many other commercials products and I guess also the default filter rules are very good because of their experience in the domain.
But I think you can use it completely without the AdGuard servers and use other filter list sources.

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.
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.
Okay but NextDNS' own homepage says it "blocks ads and trackers on websites and in apps" - https://nextdns.io

Google Chrome will limit ad blockers starting June 2024
pretty much to the same effect of a pihole, yet you can get up and running in minutes. You can then configure wherever you please: your browser, your laptop, your phone, or even your router.

Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 DNS resolving issues
It's not open, but I'm happy with https://nextdns.io/
There is https://www.dns0.eu and https://nextdns.io.
I like the 300K requests per month free tier that nextdns.io has. Comes with plenty of filters.

“1.1.1.1 is now handling more than 1.3T requests per day”
you can also have a look at nextdns [0][1]. I set it up on both my mac nad iOS. NextDns provides a panel where you can see what got blocked and some other analytics for you. Even though I use Brave on iOS and Arc with uBlock Origin still that wasn't enough and nexDNS blocked some additional ~8% trackers. It's free for first 300k requests per month.

Comestic adblocking in iOS
On my journey, I've experimented with various DNS filtering methods. I've used the AhaDNS Blitz (previously known as PiHoleDNS), and its performance was okay in my opinion. But, Reddit's chatter about NextDNS made me try it out. and I've been giving it a whirl over the past few weeks. Its user interface is nice and it allows significant control over various block lists.
