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 AdNuseum will fix that.
I install some local adblocker to their devices and they don’t see those ads
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.
Dunno, I found it pretty easy to set up different rules for different devices.
Yes! PiHole does offer whitelisting profiles for devices however, Apple/IOS devices with their “Private Wi-Fi addresses” make it pain given how the Mac Addresses regularly rotate.
Oh wow - did not know that!
Bit of a weird choice, given that routers usually allow limiting connections to specific MAC addresses as a security feature. Everything’s a trade-off, I guess…
Only Apple the filtering to your MAC addresses.
