    DNS fallback if Pihole fails

    Thats exactly what I use. RPI4 with a Kingston external SSD. ;)

    DNS fallback if Pihole fails

    @Tech9 thats an interesting set up thanks. Idealy I would like all requests to go through the Pihole hence DNS Directer enabled , but I will test your set up

    DNS fallback if Pihole fails

    amtm Creating a 2GB Swap file in amtm lasts forever, what's wrong?

    As others have said , I'd highly recommend an external SSD. Far quicker and reliable.

    Which Ad-Blocker

    I've tried most of the adblocking configurations out there. Im currently running Adguard home on the router which I like , it has a nice UI. Pihole is good as is running Adguard on the Pi. Diversion is good , but I like a nice UI which Diversion has'nt got. I'll probobly swithch it up again...

    Skynet Is default firewall good enough?

    Sorry for straying off topic in this thread. After a bit of research i have found my isp uses CG-NAT. I'll be calling them and asking for a static ip. I also wondered why I could no longer port forward.

    Skynet Is default firewall good enough?

    My isp (Toob) supplys a fibre box and a router. To use my own router I was advised to connect my Asus router directly to the fibre box. So..... Internet>Fibre box>AsusRouter Would you suggest? Internet>Fibre Box>ISP Router>Asus Router?

    Diversion vs AdGuardHome?

    I would say Diversion is slightly lighter on the system than Adguard. Diversion is set and forget whereas Adguard has its own webui and is more customisable. Try them both and see what you like. Both are amazing at what they do , block ads and trackers. BTW Adguard is also available via AMTM as...
