Admin console 403 error
A brief history: At first everything was working just fine but my speedtest that was installed on the pihole console was not working correctly. I ran a bunch of updates (since I neglected to do so for a year) but still the speedtest was still showing that the test were running every hour but most of them were returning all zeros for up/down/ping. I went through a couple of forums and tried to reinstall my server that runs the admin page (I think it was lighttpd) and then it all hit the fan.

So I can never not use pihole again, ADList Suggestions please?
Every so often I do something to my pi’s and need to rebuild my pihole set up, I always consider “well do I really need it?” “That is how webpages provide free stuff, do I want to take it away?” “I am doing other things for privacy do I need this to?” This most recent time that my pihole set up died on me I started getting bombarded with ads for places and things that I would never consider, then some things happened scaring me about my ID was stolen again I stepped up my security and reset up my pihole setup. I have two pi’s both running pihole, one as my primary and one as my secondary both are synced together with https://github.com/vmstan/gravity-sync. I have a poop load of block lists, but I have a white list that grows every so often as I find new ways to block things ads while not blocking services. (my most recent addition to the whitelist is Facebook, I like Facebook and don’t want to give it up.) I use Pihole unbound https://www.wundertech.net/use-unbound-to-enhance-the-privacy-of-pi-hole-on-a-raspberry-pi/ set up on both my pi’s, at one point in time I had https://docs.pi-hole.net/guides/dns/cloudflared/ running on my system. I suggest unbound and definitely not both, as I understand when running both it takes the best parts out of the other. When I find the ad lists, black lists, and white lists that are working for me I make sure to back them up. In settings there is the teleporter where you can save everything and store it where ever you want. I have been trying but failing at getting the speedtest add on working but my past few installs haven’t liked it, yeah I break things trying to do things often! https://github.com/arevindh/pihole-speedtest, I think I will try reinstalling the add on?Every so often I do something to my pi’s and need to rebuild my pihole set up, I always consider “well do I really need it?” “That is how webpages provide free stuff, do I want to take it away?” “I am doing other things for privacy do I need this to?” This most recent time that my pihole set up died on me I started getting bombarded with ads for places and things that I would never consider, then some things happened scaring me about my ID was stolen again I stepped up my security and reset up my pihole setup.

Issues since setting up a backup PiHole
I don't know if this'll answer your second question, but both are running PiHole, Unbound, the Ookla Speedtest-CLI, and the pihole speedtest mentioned in https://github.com/arevindh/pihole-speedtest

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).
