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?

Computer browser: Brave + uBlock, LocalCDN, Privacy Badger, SponsorBlock (+ Invidious, Redlib, Nitter, etc, when it makes sense)

Phone: Hyperweb (for redirections to alternative frontends) + AdGuard Pro + ControlD DNS-over-HTTPS

Router: ControlD DNS-over-HTTPS

If you're using OpenWRT, check out AdGuard Home. But keep in mind that DNS blocking solutions aren't going to be as effective as tools like uBlock that review the DOM and apply styling filters. Both would work hand-in-hand.
