Dns4eu is free, has adblocking, and you can deploy it right now.

I run Adguard on my router, not on my server. I did write a subsequent post about the rest of the stuff I run on my router and my Proxmox cluster, but forgot to mention Adguard.

Never tried it myself but I’d be afraid of stuff being randomly broken. Eg at some point pi-hole made YouTube history not work.

That's my experience as well. Also need to intentionally disable it e.g. when using Cashback sites. And you can't easily do that with a single click.

Not to mention it only can do DNS blocking, so you still need an in browser AdBlock for more advanced stuff.

I use Brave and see no reason why would anyone chose differently. Maybe if they use freemium apps on their phones with a ton of ads?

For the cash back sites, I have a separate Firefox profile that uses a public DNS over HTTPS provider to bypass my internal DNS.

That's a good workaround, did not consider it before.

That should be probably in the router.
