wait, you guys don't use adblockers ?
Are there any free ones these days? I haven't looked in a few years. Last I knew the free ones were all scams.
personally, I use NextDNS which offers 300,000 queries per month, it's basically a dns server that doesn't let your phone connect to ad servers. you can put it's dns address in your phone settings, pretty easy to use.
if however you want something without limits, you can use dns.adguard.com (just put it in private dns settings in your phone.
that's only for android though, Idk about iOS as I don't own an iPhone but it should be possible on iOS too.
Adguard - the paid one - was the best purchase I made in a year. And there was tough competition for this spot.
I appreciate the desire to go all FOSS, but there is still the need to feed all these great people who make it work.
Do not stop yourself, get it!
Adguard-DNS cloud is similar to NextDNS.
AdGuard Home is an self hosted open source adblocker that can run in a Pi, I run that. More features than PiHole and I've had for less issues with it.
