Hey guys, I recently bought an orange pi zero 2 and, as the title suggests, I want to put an ad blocker on it. Those are the options. I also will put openvpn for external connection to my network. Does anyone have experience with them? What would you suggest?

    This might not be a factor you care about, but Adguard is developed in Russia.

      Even if that were true, it would not matter since the source code is open and you can take a look at it to put this phobia of yours to rest.

      Also FYI, AdGuard is based in Cyprus.

        It’s not just about trusting the code (which anyway isn’t a small task to review it, and all future PRs, and run your own builds from reviewed code) but also there are some people who will avoid Russian developed stuff at the moment for moral reasons, you know, because of the whole Ukraine thing.

          Which I don’t find reasonable tbh, at least for open source stuff. You are not actively supporting the Russian government, and a lot of Russians also don’t support the war. But to each their own.
