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?

Desktop: uBlock Origin in Firefox

Mobile: PiHole running in AWS. I VPN into it, with the VPN configured to only tunnel DNS lookups. Allows me to easily temporarily disable the PiHole by just disconnecting from the VPN. Gives me ad blocking in all apps.

Why AWS? You can do this with a RPi and Tailscale.

I already run an AWS EC2 t3.micro for an IRC bouncer and other small projects, so figured why not put it there?
