I am tending towards a RaspberryPi with PiHole. Would there be any advantage with an OpenWRT router if it’s just plugged into the ISPs router anyways?
You must log in or register to comment.
If you must use your ISP’s ONT, have it set to bridge mode. And then use whatever router you’re comfortable administrating. Open WRT is perfectly good for this.
The benefits of bridge mode are that your routing device has the public IP address. And controls everything. Some of the more evil ISPs won’t let you set bridge mode on their device unless you open a support ticket it’s worth it to do so.
Was using pihole.
Repurposed pihole as Batoceta retro gaming station.
Set my router to use Ad-guard (others are NextDNS, RethinkDNS, cloudflare DNS family, mullvad).
