    I do so love my Pihole. I forget how many ads are all over websites until I load up some site on a machine outside of my network.

      I need to get a new modem/router. My arris that came with my fiber internet screws up my ability to remote connect to Plex and it won't let me set up a pihole.

        One thing I like about this particular layer of defense is that it gives you more insight into the activities of the software and operating systems you’re using. The statistics they provide (I use Adguard Home) have proven very useful for me on several occasions .

        No solution is perfect but could a DNS based solution with a privacy browser is as good as I can get on mobile devices without not connecting to the internet at all.

    I use(and recommend) both for the best user experience.UBlock origin’s element zapper feature has changed my life.
