I have AdGuard Home running on an Odroid in addition to AdGuard AdBlocker and AdGuard Browser Assistant running on my PC Windows MS Edge. Everything is working but opening and loading web pages is very, very slow. I have selected the default 31 AdGuard Home DNS blocklists and only excluded duplicate names which carry fewer rules, except 1.

My questions are:

• How many rules are others using?

• Is the use of 32 rules overkill?

• What do others recommend to get proper ad blocking and protection but without significantly impacting performance? Looking for adequate protection but wish to optimize performance a bit.

The rules I'm using are:
