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?

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.

Yea this seems to be a really big misconception. There is nothing magical about pi-hole that requires a Raspberry Pi or even the actual pi-hole software either. It’s just dnsmasq. A generic Linux box running dnsmasq gets you 95% of what branded “pi-hole” gets you.

Check out running dnsmasq with dnscrypt-proxy too.
