Introducing Pi-hole v6

Been using Pi-hole for years. Love it.
But, now my new ASUS router has a built in AdGuard DNS service.
So my Pi-hole is finally retired 🤝

 
I need to sunset my gravity-sync then spin up Orbital or Nebula sync when i upgrade to V6


Any specific reason you use Adguard for DNS versus your router?
There are two separate networks here. It is a matter of preference for my home lab. I have a default, or well, config for Unbound too. The main internet just uses Cloudflare (DoH) that is configured on RouterOS.

I have ZeroTier configured, but don't use it.
 
Started the process - updated one of the pihole nodes and it seemed to go ok - but it wasnt resolving DNS properly. Also managed to setup Orbital sync and this was working on pihole v5. But something broke when i tried to update the second node to v6. Eventually took everything down and am using my router for DNS until i can figure it out
 
I can't believe I never thought of using AdGuard DNS direct on the router.

Since I started using Proton VPN and having Netshield enabled I have had no need for separate ad blockers on our devices.
