Pi-hole VS Poweradmin

Pi-hole

• 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.

  Pi-hole to block ads and tracking for my less technically savvy relatives

• 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.

  It runs on damn near everything, and is a DNS level adblocker for the whole network.

  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).

• Is there an Android app that blocks the ads on games?

  It's definitely not as simple as installing an app on your phone, but I run a Pi-hole on my home network, and it does block ads in many games.
