I want to block ads and trackers on the whole home network. I’ve been using adblockers and trackers for years now; I currently have a Raspberry Pi. I was thinking of setting up Pi-Hole with AdGuard. Any other suggestions are welcome. (I can’t use a custom router, because my ISP doesn’t allow it)

    Pi-hole works great for me, but everyone else on the network that uses Google hates it because the entire first page is ads and they can’t click on them.

      For a mobile device / TV, sure.

      For a browser on a computer, uBlock or AdNauseum will fix that.

      I have one SSID with pihole (which I use), and one without. Works pretty well, if you’re ok with a VLAN-aware network.

      Yeah, PiHole is great if you live by yourself otherwise the entire household will have it out for you.

      Learned that lesson the hard way.
