I’m fairly sure they are both on the same physical host, so subject to the same neighbours and are of identical specification – 1GB RAM, 2 AMD EPYC CPU cores and a 15GB SSD disk. To this end, I chose a smaller provider, VMHaus. In order to test these side-by-side, I wanted two identical cloud servers. Pi-hole is released under the EUPL v1.2 and Adguard Home under GPL v3. Source code for both pieces of software is available on Github for anyone wanting to look at it. This is your own decision to make and I’m just reviewing the options available to you. Many websites rely on payments from advertisers to remain online (including this one). Of course, there’s a lot of argument about the morality of blocking advertisements. If you set this as the DNS server for your whole network, it’s a very efficient way to ensure every device makes use of them. You set your devices to use them as a DNS server, and they filter out domains serving ads or trackers.

I will work on rewriting this tutorial myself with due credit to the author.Both Pi-hole and AdGuard Home are network-level ad and tracker blocking software.

As a fact, I'm writing this on my RPi3b+ and I have the same error but I'm still connected to the internet. For all of the people saying that they are losing internet connection because `DHCP connection has been lost` are not realizing that you still have internet access. This tutorial is not wrong and it should work. But I suggest that anybody who comes by and finds that the internet is not working to reinstall the os and try again from scratch. Some devices such as samsungs try to prevent insecure connection. This would mostly be due to older phones or phones with greater security. Other people are having trouble with just getting this to connect or even showing up as a connectable device on there phones. Alot of people hear do not realize that the eth0 is being bridge to wlan0 so that it can be broadcast with hostapd. It would appear that this tutorial is due for a rewrite.
