I know you can get good results with NextDNS, but lately I haven't been a fan of subscriptions and those free trials. I'd like to find something similar, or even better

Yeah... After a user here on Lemmy pointed out that the AdGuard app on mobile made a lot of strange requests to ads servives, I gave it a try myself with PCAPdroid and seeing all thoses requests made by only opening the app made me think twice about AdGuard...

Removed all their services from my network and a happy piHole + quad9 user since !
