#23Sadly for the AdGuard team, there isn't much of an audience for this. It's one of those things everyone says they want but few people will actually install one, much less maintain one over time. Add to that the wife-forced uninstalls and the total long-term audience for this is (no kidding) in the thousands.
My spouse’s device is on a pihole exclusion list. Can you not do this with AdGuard?
Yes, you can definitely use it selectively.

#24Earlier quoted context omitted.
I love NextDNS. The one (fairly huge) issue that I have is that it cannot handle captive portals when its enabled on my iPhone. So if I'm joining the wifi on a plane, etc, I need to remember to turn it off. This means that I cannot recommend it to my non-technical friends.
I’ve been using NextDNS for a little while and don’t remember having issues with captive portals on my iPhone. Maybe something changed?
Most likely it's due to the different lists you can add or use on NextDNS. I also have issues with captive portals (I run a number of lists on NextDNS) and I just flip it off and on when I need to.

#25Don't do this. Network firewalls are harmful. Let people configure their own firewalls on device. Having to VPN around network blocks is annoying to say the least. Network firewalls are harmful and just a lazy excuse for bad client security.

#26I run AdGuard Home on a Pi and it's fantastic. I was running PiHole previously and found it endlessly problematic, I rarely have to even think about AdGuard Home.

#27Anyone know of an Adguard home or pihole equivalent service I can run as part of OPNSense? I currently have a different machine dedicated to pihole, but it would be intriguing to have something built in. I would imagine split DNS and firewall rules would be simpler this way.
The built-in unbound dns server has support for blocklists, maybe you want to give it a try:

#28Coincidentally I just set up OpenWRT [1] on a NanoPi from FriendlyElectric.
How would this fit into using Wireguard? Or, how would I go about that? It seems like there might be something conflicting about running both, but I am very new to it all.
[1] It is actually running their FriendyWRT variation which came with the precompiled drivers for getting a Realtek USB wifi adapter to work, otherwise stock OpenWRT would work as well

Interesting. I've had the same issues. Is there a captive portal whitelist somewhere?
