The benefits is that every device is safer and with way less ads but some sites may break so I dont know
I’m running PiHole at work for the entire network. Desktops point at Windows DCs for initial resolution and those point at my PiHole for external resolution. It works well. PiHole isn’t perfect and the database needs some monitoring and occasional cleanup.
I use nextdns and adguard dns. Both have served me well.
I personally use Adguard home on my home network but I also have nextdns on my personal devices. I haven’t had issues with either of them. Both have pretty similar interfaces, Nextdns was easy to set up and I self host adguard home so it’s a tad more complicated. I have to say nextdns offers a lot more blocklists though, ended up only using a few of the blocklists I’m familiar with because I ended up blocking google and facebook stuff that broke some websites. But that’s more of my fault for not reading which blocklists I turned on than a nextdns problem. Though, it would help if they were to put warnings on potential blocklists that tend to break websites.
Techlore came out with a video guide recently on nextdns. And which features to use.
The summary is… not to use too many blocklists. Use the consolidated ones and frequently updated.
