I tried Pihole on Pi3B, then Adguard home (self hosted), Merlin with Diversion

Now using Adguard Public DNS, lazy tinkering with extra hardware

if you're into customizing what to block (assuming you didnt do this yet)

1. set DDNS on your asus router (fqdn will be like somethingyouchoose.asuscomm.com)

2. register free adguard dns account

3. put your ddns fqdn at your account so that adguard knows your profile

4. set the given dns IP on your adguard account to your router

How do you put the DDNS into adguard tho? Been looking for the settings for days

Adguard DNS Dashboard -> Home -> Scroll down to your devices

Assuming you added only 1 device, which is your router and have setup adguard on your router

Click on settings of that device

Scroll down

Plain DNS server addresses -> Linked IPv4 address -> Advanced settings -> Configure DDNS

If you have never linked before, click on Link IP address first

Thanks, got it working now
Tried DNS over TLS, but I dont think merlin and adguard are able to play along
Especially I dont see the option to turn off DNS server
Followed the steps in the website, couldnt get a connection lol
