I want to block ads and trackers on the whole home network. I’ve been using adblockers and trackers for years now; I currently have a Raspberry Pi. I was thinking of setting up Pi-Hole with AdGuard. Any other suggestions are welcome. (I can’t use a custom router, because my ISP doesn’t allow it)

DNS based adblocking with Hegezi blocklist and TIF (threat intelligence feeds). Works with any device on your network in one way or another (QUIC, DoH/3, DoT, etc) and doesn't require installing anything. Just changing dns settings.

This is a great list. Blocks about 95% of all advertisements. About 4% are unblockable due to one reason or another, and the remaining 1% get added very quickly. I highly recommend this solution. Sure, you can setup a PiHole and do it all yourself, but in the end that requires time and attention. It's the same list, but if you roll PiHole yourself you don't get access to TIF, which are amazing for protecting you from different kinds of threats.
