Ask HN: What ist your AdBlock strategy?

Hi, Just installed OpenWRT. Which solutions for ad blocking and other trackers would you recommend? Pi-Hole is not a option, since I don't have one laying around.

So anything else I can try which will work out of the box? For links and guides I'd be happy. PS: I got dual antennas what would come into your mind to do with it?

I’ve used Pi-Hole before, and I had to troubleshoot in a few instances when I was traveling away from home. I stopped using it to simplify my setup.

The ideal setup I want to try is to have something like AdGuard Home at the Router. My current setup on our devices already has AdGuard App running with NextDNS as the DNS Resolver. This setup works pretty well while connecting to any network. NextDNS handles the DNS, while AdGuad AdBlocker works well with the client side on all browsers.

Issues pop up occasionally when the OS gets upgraded, but they are bearable. https://brajeshwar.com/2024/i-block-ads/

I run adguard on a raspberry pi - setup similar to pi-hole. It works well but does not block YouTube ads. Is there a setting I am missing to enable this?

I don't think you can do that with Adguard right now. You can use a browser with adblock for desktop/mobile, and there are smart TV apps with adblock and sponsorblock both for Tizen [0] and webOS [1].
