re: Blocking sites via Router

I recently setup a docker environment in the cloud with DigitalOcean for this exact purpose. I pay $6/month and run 3 containers.
1. Wireguard VPN server
2. Wireguard GUI
3. AdGuard home
Adguard acts as a DNS server and blocks access to social media services and malicious sites. On its backend I use 1.1.1.3 and 1.0.0.3 for DNS. These filter out adult sites and Malware.
The VPN clients (kids’ cellphones) are configured to use the AdGuard server for DNS. The VPN is configured on their phone to be on automatically and they are restricted from using the app/configuring the connection settings via screen time.
So far this setup has worked really well for us. I wish it were easier to protect our kids online but it is what it is…

NextDNS is better than OpenDNS in my opinion. It can be done router level if you like. I mainly use it for stopping any devices from phoning home and ad blocking.
