nextdns VS AdGuardHome

In that case, try NextDNS for something slightly easier

I've been using nextdns a lot for the past few months, and it's been great.

you do not need any kind of special hardware for a DNS adblocker. Personally I just use nextDNS - it's pretty quick to setup - though some of it's adblock lists block access to the app store, so you have to whitelist that or just turn it off when you want to download a new app.

Maybe use a DNS provider that filters? https://nextdns.io Google DNS may do this too, but I’m not sure

Pi-hole (with every reasonable blocklist I can find) protects me from many of these domains. NextDNS would be another option for DNS-based blocking for people who don't want to administer it themselves. I also plan to use DNSTwist to generate additional blocklists for typo-based phishing that I can plug into the Pi-hole for important sites.

I use nextdns.io for this reason,and it has a handy app for ios/android so you can even force it on there for when he's smart enough to use a hotspot or WIFI at a friends house. It's totally worth the 1,99 per month and provides TONS of options

Private DNS suggestions: Quad9: dns.quad9.net Cloudflare: security.cloudflare-dns.com AdGuard: dns.adguard-dns.com NextDNS: (visit https://nextdns.io/)

Also, keep in mind, unless your dns is encrypted your isp can see it. A good way to illustrate this is with something like https://www.dnsleaktest.com I personally use nextdns so that I can block ads etc, but quad9 would be a good choice too. https://www.dnsleaktest.com https://nextdns.io

DNS Adblocker: Replaced Adguard Home running on a RPi0 with pfBlockerNG This was done mainly in the interest of reducing the number of devices. pfBlockerNG is a pfSense package that can be easily installed in pfSense. It is basically functionally identical to Adguard Home and Pi-hole (which I used to run before switching over to Adguard Home). I still recommend Adguard Home over other solutions due to its ease of install and slick UI.

AdGuard Home

Adguard Home - Perhaps less helpful for blocking ads on youtube, but it's great for helping to keep some privacy by stopping my various IOT devices from reporting back some excessive usage info (roku....). I also use it as a DHCP server to 'box' some devices such that they only have access to local network and nothing on the outside (oculus quest)

Adguard apparently plans to support it: https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome/issues/1228

A truly better alternative to pi-hole while still self hosted is AdGuardHome: https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome#comparison-pi-hol...

Which will never happen for DNS-only blockers like pi-hole.

If you have a Pi/fancy router that can run AdGuard Home, you can use it as a forwarder to NextDNS, you'll need to assign a domain (or just a DDNS address) and setup LetsEncrypt so it can listen for DoT requests. Unfortunately, if you want your device to seamlessly use DoT when away from home, either the home instance needs to be reachable from the internet, or set up an AGH on a VPS to handle the traffic from the internet, at which point you're better off just whitelisting that VPS IP and be done with it.
