I prefer adguard home, much better UI and updating it is easier...at least compared to last time I tried where i had to SSH in to the pi-hole to update it since it didn't allow it through the web interface like adguard home does. Not a big issue, but still a little annoying compared to just doing it from the web interface.

You make it sound like a chore instead of a delight. Curious.

Yeah I don't think TUIs are a great way to interface with most things. It's a needlessly outdated method and provides an unnecessary barrier to less technically inclined people, and when a GUI interface is present anyways it just kind of dumb. TUIs are slower to execute things with than GUI 99% of the time, and always less intuitive.

I hate this ridiculous nerd trope of loving TUIs, it's getting old and over used.

Especially if you've set up key verification for SSH, you don't even have to mess with a password.

Then it's literally just pihole -up

Anyone have any particularly good info about AdGuard re: Russia? My understanding is that the devs are Russian. Seems like they have set things up to explicitly be outside control of the regime, but it makes me worry without some ironclad info that it's safe.
