Pi-Hole is worth it, I highly recommend it. You don't need a Pi, just grab a cheap used mini PC off eBay. It's been a total set-and-forget thing.
Try them out and see which one you prefer.
All these work similarly to pihole. If you choose an option that integrates with ipset, you can get slightly stronger than by blocking IPs associated with hostnames.
As others mentioned, it's good to couple with a client-side filter like uBlock origin.
Got a pihole a few years ago, works like a charm. The only annoyance is when you actually look for produces and nearly all links in google are dead due to ads.
Pi-Hole doesn't need an actual Raspberry Pi. The software runs fine on a lot of hardware. I have it dockerized (via ansible) and deployed on a couple of regular mini-PCs. You can run it on a lot of hardware these days, or containerized.
Pi-Hole is not a option, since I don't have one laying around. Why not buy one?
Am always using gluetun VPN hosted on a VPS with these two options: BLOCK_ADS=on BLOCK_SURVEILLANCE=on and I don't see any ads anywhere, even on the Twitter site!
It’s not an ”out of the box” solution. But when it’s set up you get encrypted DNS requests and network wide ad blocking.
All in a few megabytes.
Firefox + uBlock Origin works well for me! It's all I use.
i used to use pihole, and i'll totallyyyyy get around to setting my homelab back up soon ( and adguard home is also on my radar :3 )
