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?

hosts file is a really nice global block

I often use it for self controlling my Hacker News and Reddit addiction.

I use the one at https://someonewhocares.org/hosts/

It seems to be all I need. I like that it blocks the crap on all browsers without needing to install extensions. Youtube is still practically useless though.
