    I haven’t tried nextdns but I moved from PiHole to AdGuard Home. It can still be locally hosted and the UI is waaaay better and it offers more configuration, including per client settings. I really don’t know why PiHole is still recommended.

      Pihole seems simple enough for my needs. I can add more lists if needed. I have kids but they are beyond the age of needing to control their online usage.

      I’m just interested in privacy, ads, tracking and malware blocking.

      Next thing I want is to hide my DNS requests from the isp.

        Oh yea - there’s nothing wrong with PiHole - it works fine. I ran it for years. I just feel AdGuard is the better choice these days.

          I’ve only recently set it up so I’ll try some other solutions. I looked at nextDNS but a friend is using it and says the free edition isn’t enough and don’t really want to pay

            Ah - check out AdGuard then - it supports DoH right out of the box. That should help hide DNS from your ISP.
