I'm guessing that @heysoundude is turning on their vpn when they leave their house mainly for general ad blocking when they are not at home as well as security if they connect to a public hotspot. The blocking of YouTube ads is just icing on the cake.
Agreed. My VPN comes on automatically to stay connected to HA (which has Blue Iris integrated). The asuswrt: integration does pretty solid presence detection, and command_line: lets you reconfigure the LAN based on who is home. HA is my COVID time-killer lately.
But yeah, I don't see Diversion - great that it is - being in any way related to Vanced. One is an overall better YT experience with one of the benefits being lack of ads, the other is a great evolution of ab-solutions that is faster than PiHole and HA's AdGuard integration. Different worlds.
