Hey guys, I recently bought an orange pi zero 2 and, as the title suggests, I want to put an ad blocker on it. Those are the options. I also will put openvpn for external connection to my network. Does anyone have experience with them? What would you suggest?

As a counterpoint I’ve had pihole running in various configurations for 7 or 8 years and the only problem I’ve had was a log file got too big or something. Works great.

It also depends what else you are trying to do, but I love PiHole’s ability to act as a proper DNS server for my LAN with support for A and CNAME records

With AdGuard Home you don’t even need to have log files, there’s built in options to store it in-memory.
