Therefore, I now rely on the Raspberry Pi, which has been stable for a couple of years. While the Raspberry Pi could serve additional functions, I prefer to use it exclusively for Pi-Hole. The ad-blocking feature is beneficial, though it can be overly aggressive and requires customization to suit my needs.
