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 haven't looked at pihole once after I discovered adguard home.

How do you reduce the latency of the upstream DNS resolvers? The closest Cloudflare servers give me 20-25ms DNS resolution times, but with Cloudflare as the upstream DNS in Adguard Home, I'm getting more around 80-110ms.

Is there a specific way to test that or just nslookup/dig/drill and look at the number there? I want to check this and get back to you.

Adguard Dashboard shows average DNS resolution time. I eventually shifted to Blocky which tracks logs of every DMS query. I strung a quick python script to make a dashboard similar to Adguard's and calculating avg resolution time for each resolved A records.

Blocky looks good too. I will check it out at some point. Thanks.
