This is aimed at iOS users more, but do any of you use any firewall apps like 1 blocker fire wall or adguard dns.

The reason I’m asking is if you have all them things at router level what good does it do on a device level?

I used PiHole for a long time, then graduated to self-hosting a VPN so I could get as-blocking when away from my home network.

Ultimately I ended up using just AdGuard DNS via the DNS profile for iOS, and hard code the DNS into my home routers.

There might be a better setup, but this simple deployment takes care of 98% of ads.

Same, except I use Mullvad’s DoH for my phone and router.
