Hey, not sure if this is the right community, but looking for some information.
Iโve seen many people strongly recommend AdGuard Home for network-wide ad-blocking either in isolation, or in direct comparison to Pihole. But I canโt really find why there is such a strong recommendation. The only clear reason Iโve seen is that AdGuard is easier to set-up.
However, I already have Pihole set-up on all of my networks on separate Raspberry Pis at each location. I have it running as the DNS server so that every device that connects to the network automatically gets ad-blocking. I have a few groups set-up within Pihole for slightly nuanced blocking โ i.e. some of my family still want to use Facebook etc. (on a separate subnet).
So my question is, considering I already have Pihole set-up, am I missing some key benefit that AdGuard Home would provide?
PiHole has everything you listed except the static dns via web ui. You need to add them to the hosts file.
Thatโs awesome, Iโll have to give it a try again! I saw they also recently added an external-dns target for pihole for kubernetes which was the real genesis of needing an internal dns server anyway.
