Pi-hole or AdGuard for home dns-based blocking?

Pi-hole or AdGuard for home dns-based blocking? - lemm.ee

Hey folks, I just realized my pihole server, running on a Ras Pi 3 needs to be rebuilt from scratch. I’ve seen many mentions of AdGuard DNS here though. What’s your thinking on which is better now? We’re a small family, looking for a basic ad blocking, set it and forget it, solution.

Adguard is a little more refined imho.

Ran pinhole for ages and used scripts to update it.

Adguard, everything is built into the UI. Although custom rules for certain clients are a little hard in Adguard.

Now I have a dual system.

Adguard is a secondary and DoH as my primary. That way I have DNS services regardless of if the internet is up or down.
