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?

Not mentioned yet: Paying for YouTube Premium if you and your other family members watch a lot of YT. This is only needed for Smart TVs. It's $23 per month for up to a family of five. You also get YouTube Music as well.

Otherwise, I use Firefox + uBlock Origin + Privacy Badger and also have redundant PiHole servers.

I hooked up an old PC to my TV and then taught my extremely tech illiterate wife to use VNC on her phone to control the PC. Now her YouTube and Chinese streaming sites are ad-free. My kids will have to wait until they can operate a web browser on a computer before I’ll let them on YouTube. Until then I let them use Netflix or VLC on an iPad with local content I downloaded (yt-dlp, etc).
