How to Ads blocking like PiHole with OPNSense?

[Stonehenge]

Hi,

Imitating a co-worker with his Raspberry Pi + PiHole, I have reproduced the same using PiHole on Debian. I would like to go further than a DNS sinkhole, I read that pfBlockerNG + pfSense would even be better.

Then I learnt about the controversies around pfSense vs OPNSense. Can you please suggest a solution for ads blocking with OPNSense? The goal is to repurpose the computer I am using at the moment for the PiHole server to install OPNSense + something to do ads blocking.

I am sure there is a world of cool things once I have a firewall to play around. But for now ads blocking is the feature I am looking for.

AdGuard Home works great and has a nice UI. It's in the community plugins collection.

In OPNSense documentation, section Community Plugins. I don't see any mention of AdGuard Home. Doesn't that mean this is an unsupported plugin?

Wandering around some reddit posts, someone also suggested Zemarmor (Sensei)  as an ads blocker plugins.

For now I am just discovering the OPNSense ecosystem, didn't read any of the documentation yet. Can you please help me to fast track a bit? AdGuard Home  vs Zenarmor, which one is more popular?

Zenarmor is an IDS/IPS. I generally avoid this type of software and prefer simpler solutions.

The community plugin repo announcement is here:

AdGuard Home has its own UI. Setup wizard at http://<ip of your OPNsens>:3000, IIRC.

Then you need to configure DNS so AGH is actually used.
