Thank you for your concern.


Pihole does not natively support DNS over HTTPS as a direct upstream resolver. Pihole's blocklists are somewhat all-or-nothing and curating the correct list is a manual process. I find the Adguard search interface much quicker to use. They are good at finding blocklists I've never come across. They curate some themselves.


Likewise, to get around the DNS over HTTPS issue, there has to be yet another layer such as ubound or cloudflared running. So, my internal network has to contact pihole, which contacts cloudflared, which goes out my edge gateway, all adding latency, whereas now with Adguard DNS I can do it all on my gateway since it supports DoH natively. I had 3.2 million DNS requests last month from my network. It makes a difference.


In addition with this Adguard setup, I can have different blocklists for different devices.(the gateway can choose) Again, something pihole can't support directly because it runs as a single instance.


The next time you are 'concerned' you can offer suggestions.
Does nobody have Ublock origins? I've yet to watch a YouTube ad since they started putting ads on vids because of ublock
I pay for AdGuard DNS. It's been more granular and consistent than Pihole. I don't use their app. This 'lifetime' version does not include their DNS services outside their free tier.


What do you use since you imply people are 'wild' in a bad way to spend $16.

Apologies if someone already mentioned this in the thread, I couldn't find anything mentioning this:
Would getting this AdGuard plan and configuring my router to point to the AdGuard DNS work for blocking ads on Hulu, Peacock, Amazon Prime, etc on a 4k Apple TV or is it likely to break playback?

Does this work by making a dummy VPN connection that it routes all traffic through to achieve the blocking through the active lists. If so, does that prevent you from using a VPN service like Windscribe, Nord etc at the same time as this app is enabled?

using controld's free private DNS with brave browser solves 99% of my ad blocking needs on mobile android. no system overhead and doesn't require root privileges.

just add this URL to your "Private DNS" settings and enjoy.

Quote from sasicbit :
The DNS level of blocking almost becomes a must when you are using apps wherever you cannot install an ad-blocker plugin. Think of games, social media apps and a few other apps like Reddit clients where you cannot even control the ads within the app.

If you install a DNS-wide ad-blocker and point your router and/or DNS resolvers to these custom DNS servers, you and anyone who uses your network will be safe from the scum of today's internet that is the ads.
No argument there -- DNS blocking is just one level, there are others. That was what I was suggesting it should be a layered approach.

For instance DNS-level blocking does not work for youtube, you need higher-level filters which something like pihole or adguard DNS blocking can not help you.

Does Control D block the popup video ads in android games and apps? Also does it block YouTube video ads when using the YouTube android app?

use brave for YT in browser (firefox w/ ublock origin extension works too) or revanced manager for the app itself. the DNS has blocked all of my other app ads so far. try it and if it doesn't work for you simply remove the url from the Private DNS setting.

No, that's not how it works at all. It's an application that runs in the background on your computer and blocks all ads system-wide. It blocks ads in all apps, not just browsers.

The free Adguard DNS blocks ads at the DNS level. It's limited though, on purpose, to 300K requests a month, in order to coax people to sign up for the pay service which gets you more requests.

This has nothing to do with a VPN.
