Also, if you own a router able to run OpenWrt ( https://openwrt.org/supported_devices https://openwrt.org/supported_devices ), you have access to several packages providing the same technical solution as a pi-hole (DNS-based blocking). As far as I know, the most common and maintained is https://github.com/openwrt/packages/tree/master/net/adblock/files https://github.com/openwrt/packages/tree/master/net/adblock/... . It's easy to install, full-featured, ships with lots of lists to pick from, auto-updates lists, doesn't need an additional device, and you will benefit from router features shipped as part of OpenWrt and probably unavailable in your router's proprietary firmware. Much recommended. If that sounds attractive and it sounds like a good opportunity to change your crumbling unpatched router, the question "what's today's good cheap router running OpenWrt without trouble?" is frequently answered by https://www.reddit.com/r/openwrt/ https://www.reddit.com/r/openwrt/ :) .
