Do you all use ad blocking dns?

[seowbin]

My primary use of this DNS server actually is to detect the fastest IP from my network to the server and return that fastest server. The secondary use is ad blocking. So far so good.

Sometimes it might accidentally block some legit url like those google shortcut on WhatsApp. Didn't spend time to troubleshoot yet. Just disabled the private dns option on Android then turn back on again after seeing ads



What about you all? Do you all setup any?

This should be the primary.
But anyways, the popular adblocks dns providers have CDN and all have locations in SG

i will only use providers that have this 2 list, so i only main controlD and nextDNS

Which DNS are you talking about? I'm using my own PiHole DNS.

I using this one and run with my own network. It has public IP and dns over tls enabled so can add to my Android phone. Can it anywhere in the world

Personally I used Pi-hole first, then Adguard Home with both OpenWRT and Asus router. Then I would use pfblockerNG-devel when I used pfSense as the main router.

Now I am lazy and just use OpenWRT built-in Adblock-fast for LAN clients. For WAN side, I use OpenWRT HTTPS DNS Proxy (DoH with Quad9, Cloudflare Family DNS and ControlD family filter, IPv4 and IPv6).

There are some websites which just do not like Ad-blocking, like Dongknows. Then you cannot really block Youtube ads just using DNS blocking. Last time I was using uBlock Origin. Now I just watch the ads...

I usually just use the default DNS for my mobile phone when I am outside. Occassionally I may use wireguard to access home network and in that case the home router DNS server is used.
