        No, they mean setting your DNS to an already existing ad blocking DNS. You do not need a oi hole to do that. See option 2 here https://adguard-dns.io/en/public-dns.html

        I do this on my router and phone. It doesn’t block everything, sure, but it blocks more than you’d think. And I didn’t have to fiddle with a raspberry Pi.

          Company’s are catching on to this and hard coding their apps to google dns. This is why it only works sometimes and the best option is to setup either pihole or adguard home dns and use firewall rules to forward all dns to it.
