Pihole, Adguard home or blocky (self.selfhosted)

Hey guys, I recently bought an orange pi zero 2 and, as the title suggests, I want to put an ad blocker on it. Those are the options. I also will put openvpn for external connection to my network. Does anyone have experience with them? What would you suggest?

Another vote for PiHole.

Also, thanks for turning me on to Unbound. Which Pi are you running those services on and how’s the performance?

No the one you asked, but I'm running pihole on a lenovo M93 (fedora server) with 8Gb of ram. No kill like overkill, I guess.

The only time any of the cpu cores pops above 1% is when I'm updating the config, and at the moment it is hovering at 293 MB of RAM used according to the free command.

Ha — no kill like overkill. Indeed! Thanks for sharing!

I’m currently running pihole on a Pi 3B. It’s been solid for about a year on that hardware.

I’m going to do a little digging on the compute needed per WireGuard connection. Cheers!
