#2I've been using adguard's dns to block ads on my phone* because pi-hole isn't an option for me at the moment.
Also set it on a colleague's phone and he's thanked me severally for it.
* (dns.adguard.com
private DNS in network settings on android pie)

#3Great work! One suggestion: please make blocklists configurable.

#4Fwiw, you can run Pi-hole locally just fine. But using the hosts file like Maza does may be a little bit faster than running a DNS-server.

Similar to that I've been using NextDNS - in addition to the adblock you also get custom whitelist/blacklist, analytics... and also supports DNS-over-TLS (works well with Android's Private DNS feature) and DNS-over-Https

I wish iOS also supported private DNS natively. Seems like it would be right up Apple's street.

#7On Windows, a large hosts file may lead to noticeably slower name resolution performance. Maybe it's less of a problem on Linux/macOS...?

#9the one reason i use pihole is to block ads network-wide. this kinda defeats that purpose.

yes, but you have pihole for that... this is if you don't need or want to issue a network wide block
