Show HN: YouTube banned adblockers so I built an extension to skip their ads
I use the Hosts file to block a ton of ads and that works really well. https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts Something worth considering if your ad blocker isn't working well.

Big things are happening with RaspAP's Ad Blocking 🛑 Users will soon have more blocklist sources to choose from
The no-tracking project used by RaspAP is shutting down, so we took the opportunity to search for open source blocklist alternatives. Among the best is Steven Black's hosts list: https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts

Browser extensions spy on you, even if its developers don't
You can also use a declarative adblocker like uBlock Origin Lite [1], which only provides the browser with a list of elements to filter, but doesn't have any permissions to read content or perform requests. Or simply use your hosts file to apply OS-wide filtering with no browser add-ons needed: https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts
Be aware that if you use these "passive" blocking methods, there are some sites like YouTube where you will see ads, because in these cases it's necessary to actually manipulate page content to hide them. What you can do is use a traditional adblocker but enable it only for these few sites where the declarative approach is not enough, take a look at [2] for more details.

I installed Firefox + uBlock Origin like everyone suggested in my previous post, but this pop-up still appears, now with a 5 sec timer.

[Paid Release]CCAdsBeGone - Customized Ads Blocking At Your Fingertips
When I select my custom hosts file, it basically breaks internet. However, if I choose a custom hosts file that is a copy of the dev's default, or if I just add a few lines to it, it will work. If I add too many lines, or use a different hosts file altogether (like the ones recommended by the dev), all connectivity breaks. Of course the latest official LetMeBlock is installed and mDNSResponder killed/restarted. I'm using Dopamine on A12+.

Asus Router Reviews
Not an answer, but I have the AC5300 and like it. And if you're not aware, there's open source firmware for a lot of the Asus routers here. I use it and once again seems fine. Disclaimer, I'm not a power user, so probably can't answer anything more specific about VPN setup on the router itself, but from my understanding it is possible.

ASUS Merlin and VPN Director - Route LAN traffic through WG site-to-site VPN and WAN traffic through OVPN client
However, I am struggling with how to route the site-to-site client's WAN traffic through its own OVPN client connection. If I set up a rule routing all client subnet traffic through the OVPN connection, then the Wireguard rule never gets processed, because all OVPN rules are processed before any Wireguard rules.

OpenVPN Modem/Router
Many (all?) of the ASUS routers supported by the Merlin firmware https://www.asuswrt-merlin.net/ have OpenVPN built-in. If you have an ISP-provide modem/router, you may be able to put it in transparent bridge mode.

If you are somewhat good with computers, get an Asus router with a broadcom chipset that can run Merlin WRT. They are rock solid and feature packed (you can even adjust the wireless power level, since you're having wifi issues). There's a list of supported routers here: https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin.ng/wiki/Supported-Devices
