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.

EDIT: I'd prefer the software be open source.

I'm using nextDNS so I can have it outside of home too. If you want someone to use on your phones when you're away from home wifi, I'd give that or AdGuard a try. But PiHole is easy to do for home in an SBC or container.

I use PiHole away from home easily with a VPN…

Yup, you can do this pretty easily. But I didn't want the added latency of another hop wherever I'm on cell service.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
