@joodle is your ad blocking DNS able to fully block all youtube ads? I have a pihole installation and it blocks some youtube ads but not all of them

* DNS Anycast

Bind9 is indeed not easy to setup. DNS at all is a thing you will need to have some knowledge for. I also got my own name servers. I can help you when you want to go with bind9 tho.

Using dns.watch here too

Basically ad-blocking DNS that most people run on a Raspberry Pi

Nowadays large public dns systems (including the root servers) are designed to withstand (D)DoS in the multi-Gbps range; I doubt they care about a bunch of benevolent guys sparing them some bytes here

Then again, I don't think there's a way to change DNS on cellular on an iPhone so perhaps this is irrelevant for me.
