A lot of people are suggesting pihole. I used pihole for awhile and it was neat. Then I bit the bullet and got an actual mini-pc router with a bunch of NICs on it and put OPNSense on it. I now use Unbound DNS on OPNSense and it has made my network a lot easier to manage & more stable.
I use unbound on Opnsense as well.
works well for me except for Paramount app on my TV, it contacts every damn advertising tracker known to man and refuses to start a video if it can't.
Work arround was to set a static IP on the TV with specified DNS.
