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?
As a counterpoint I’ve had pihole running in various configurations for 7 or 8 years and the only problem I’ve had was a log file got too big or something. Works great.
My experience exactly. I keep telling myself I should set a cron job or something to purge the logs after some time, but it happens infrequently enough that it’s not a big deal.
It also depends what else you are trying to do, but I love PiHole’s ability to act as a proper DNS server for my LAN with support for A and CNAME records
