AdGuardHome fills the same gap, doesn't it?
Sort of, but it's not really designed to be "block first" though you can configure it to do that.

Windows support is best consumed in small chunks so once they deep-six Win10 it will be ready for consumption since the only "updates" it is likely to get are those strictly related to protecting it from malware. Years ago there wa…
