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?

Why not buy one?

Pi-Hole is the worst-named software. You don’t need to buy a Raspberry Pi to block ads at the DNS layer, and you don’t even need branded pi-hole software. It’s just dnsmasq which can run on anything.

Using an RPi might be the simplest way for the OP to solve the problem because hardware is a useful abstraction. My response addressed the hard part of engineering: humans in the loop.
