I'm using Pi-Hole on an Ubiquiti router together with WireGuard and DNSSEC. My Synology NAS is backup (with regards to the DNS-based Pi-Hole blocking) taking the adblocking load off the router (there's no redundancy for WireGuard endpoint though). I don't (need) to use a RPi anymore. It works extremely well for me, and all my clients also get to connect to Nextcloud running on the Synology.

My setup does far more than just blocking ads, and works transparent as long as the client is connected through WireGuard (which works seamlessly over LTE and public WiFi).

That being said, I really like how Blokada and DNS66 are available in F-Droid [1] [2], and require minimal technical knowledge to set up. The more [ad blocking], the merrier.

As a backup measure I use Firefox with uBlock. The only machine I don't use uBlock is on Kali because I want to see the website exactly as it is being served.

I'm using Pi-Hole in a lxc-container on a Omnia Turris router, blokada for my Android phone with uBlock Origin, Firefox with uBlock Origin on every computer I own and the router encrypts all traffic with WireGuard to several different endpoints for the whole network. Having a bit too slow uplink to connect to the internal network from outside.

It starts to be really easy to setup all of this so that it just works.

That router looks interesting

Aye, and the successor, currently in development, is modular [1]. I still recommend an APU2 from PC Engines as router though. Best bang for the buck, for now.
