NextDNS. Several years now. It’s absolutely brilliant.
I use Adguard because it’s pretty reliable and solid.
I would love other options but I haven’t found many that rival Adguard. I’m very picky about DNS because frequently services that I use can detect them and most free providers do nothing to alleviate blocking.
im using cloudflare doh as upstream. and setting my own dns server (dnsmasq) with ad block hosts on my router
Specifically DNS? I have a Pi-Hole on my home network that is configured as a recursive resolver, and a second Pi-Hole on my personal VPN server (same).
Control D
NextDNS, plus Ublock Origin on any web browser.
Just use pihole the rest is just a honeypot
What abt adgaurd home?
Still a bit sussy ( bit better ). Its a FOR profit Corporation. ( how do they do their money? ). I am unsure if its open source, if it is then i think its good too.
It is OSS https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardHome
Ok its good. Then its good too, pihole stays my favorite in all cases but if you dont like it you can use that :)
One thing i like about adgaurd is DNS-over-HTTPS, DNS-over-TLS, and DNSCrypt
dns over https is possible over pihole
I just use ublock origin
Not sure if this counts, but I run DNS66 on my phone, and it works pretty well
I’m using controld dns, the oisd full version, legacy dns on the home router and as a private dns on android. I’ve tried multiple combinations, but this one has a sweetspot for both blocking and usability.
Quad9
does quad9 block ads as well? I thought it was only trackers
NextDNS because I benefit from it on my phone even when I’m not at home.
PiHole with the Star Trek web UI theme. I think it looks pretty nice and has worked well for me.
