I find the user interface to be more intuitive and it seems like it's a bit more effective than pi-hole at ad blocking. It also has built in adult content filter lists if you want that which includes forcing safe search on multiple search engines, which is interesting. One thing I'll miss about pi-hole is the local dns config. I had stuff set like "pi.local" and "unRAID.local" so I didn't have to type IPs over and over. Afaik, AGH does not have that feature.
Thank you for the review. I’m using the dns config pretty heavily with my pi-hole at the moment, but perhaps I can find another approach to name my home lab services.
Jumping back on to correct myself: AGH does have local DNS ability. It's under 'DNS rewrites' and behaves like a host file. Works perfectly!
Edit: well sort of. Doesn't want to accept IP:port format. Damn. I'll have to keep looking...
Thanks! I’m running caddy server on a raspberry pi (same machine as pi-hole). I use it for the reverse proxy mostly. It maps the domain to the specific machine. My pi-hole maps all the domains to the IP of the caddy server. Probably there’s a more efficient way to do this but I haven’t tried yet.
