    I ran PiHole for years. It started as a way to block ads but then also a way to block games and YouTube for my kids so they get a break. I had to manually control this though. I switched to NextDNS last year because this can be done on a schedule and they can’t get around it such as swapping to mobile data on their phones.

    In the house though I run AdGuard because there’s no way differentiate traffic for each of my kids NextDNS profiles. With AdGuard it can proxy DNS requests to take traffic from the TV in their bedroom and convert it to DNS over TLS so the traffic hits the correct profile. I don’t use AdGuard for anything else. It does not filter anything. It’s purely to make sure traffic hits the correct NextDNS profile.
