This writeup uses AdGuard for ad blocking, specifically "AdGuard Home". The "How to setup?" link from their homepage pointing to their github repo says that you accept a EULA[0] on clicking the link. The EULA seems to directly contradict their repo GPLv3 license. [1]

I think AdGuard and AdGuard Home are two different products? And so different licensing models.

For people using network level ad blocking, do you ever run into annoyances where there's a site you want to access and just can't? Mostly links that route through an analytics network. First time you click on a twitter link for example, or some referrer store links. And once you're stuck, there's normally nothing you can do. At least on the browser I can temporary turn off an extension, but I've found that network level blockers get in the way sometimes.

I believe that Kubernetes is artificially injected in your setup. You can just run your DNS server on the server and advertise it on the VPN address. You can still address it from anywhere in the VPN.

But then it wouldn't have made the first page

Never thought of that. But OP maybe liked tinkering with k3s and kilo. But I believe kilo's best use is for cluster to cluster connection. This use case is a bit artificial in my opinion.

If you run fancy enough network gear, you can run several SSIDs on different vlans and route them separately.

This is why I don't run pihole or NextDNS at the network level anymore, my wife had too many annoyances with slick deals and other things. Whitelists covered most but not everything.

I did not downvote you but, serious question: is there a need for this kind of snark?

I understand the point that running a kubernetes cluster just for this would probably be hard to justify. But, if you deploy your services to kubernetes already, then this is a nice guide to do so, isn't it?

I find it hard to understand this attitude, especially in a forum dedicated to talk about technology.
