Holy cow

Right? With Google killing Ublock Origin, I went searching for alternatives. Good news is that AdGuard Home (FOSS) is simple to install. I added it as primary DNS to my Tailscale tailnet, et voila.

How’s the performance impact compared to browser level blocking? Any noticeable latency with DNS filtering?

I'm running it on a fairly beefy machine (Umbrel Home), and I can't say I've noticed any difference so far. I'll give it 30 days and report back.

Perfect.

I love my PiHole

Yeah running your own ad blocking dns is a game changer

Very nice, I just use #Surfshark's "Clean DNS" feature on all devices, which also puts my mind at ease on the go.

Favorite non-bitcoin FOSS project.

Unfortunately NFL plus app won't even load with ad guard home running, so I have to turn it off for Sundays!

What filter lists are you using? Trying to get comprehensive ones for NSFW and mature material to guard my kids.

adguard is great until it blocks touchdowns. my favorite non-bitcoin FOSS? https://ln.pixel.xx.kg , collaborative pixel art that survives on sats and stubbornness.
