In December 2024, Microsoft Threat Intelligence identified a malware campaign stemming from pirate streaming sites. Using iframe malvertising redirector URLs to generate revenue, and redirects up to five layers deep, malware payloads hosted on GitHub, Discord and Dropbox, acted as a dropper for additional payloads hosted elsewhere. Microsoft says the goal was to steal information and it believes almost a million devices were infected.

You point either your dns on the router to it, set it as the DHCP server (that's what I had to do as my modem/router from att didn't support dns change) or point your devices to it manually in their individual settings, which works if you only use them on that network or have it accessible on the net.

If you're serious about a homelab, there's a ton of info online, I highly recommend learning docker through Linux if you're not already familiar with it, makes self hosting service a lot easier in most cases. I actually run Adguard home specifically in an LXC container in one of my proxmox nodes "bare metal", however you can use docker for it as well, just was easier for me to not deal with port overlap
