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?
I also started on pihole, but switched to Blocky because Blocky is way more DevOps friendly (I run this stuff on microk8s on a Pi cluster).
Then I just ditched it altogether and now use NextDNS. Well worth paying the small fee for. But you obviously don’t get the same DIY satisfaction out of it.
Well it’s a service I’m paying for, so yes a bit of trust is required. Their privacy policy looks decent as well. As it stands, I trust them more with it than I would my ISP, Google or Microsoft.
You can choose what region to log to (I chose Switzerland) and you can also configure the retention period.

But NextDNS is closed source isn’t it? Personally I wouldn’t trust proprietary software with my entire DNS request history.
