Hey folks, I just realized my pihole server, running on a Ras Pi 3 needs to be rebuilt from scratch. I've seen many mentions of AdGuard DNS here though. What's your thinking on which is better now?

We're a small family, looking for a basic ad blocking, set it and forget it, solution.

EDIT: I'd prefer the software be open source.

I stopped using PiHole, or more accurately, it stopped working with my router after my provider, TalkTalk UK, updated the firmware. I didn't want to invest a lot of time finding a workaround so went back to application layer processes like uBlock Origin, etc.

I'd be interested to hear from people who have something working with a Sagecom Fast 5364. I imagine it's possible to configure it as modem only and leave routing duties to a Pi.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
