AdGuard Home DNS Blocklist Best Practice
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:

I only used max 11 rules. 31 i think you will broke the internet.
I only use HaGeZi Normal and Threat Intelligence, plus the default Adguard DNS Filter
I only seen two of the list the one list only had three active which are just monitors and I got this one above me I didn't get to look at the last 1
I think about it maybe just three weren't working they're a little health bars three of them were in the red
I think they moved on from digial to something more Direct Ive been listen in when I can and I keep hearing I should have had an accident 4 days ago. But I was loud about it it could be a bluff just so I fall inline..
It was on a site that was going to help me but I got to sign over my soul to get it
I keep getting something went wrong every time I post a picture
I just keep every I ever do open. My phone nothing windows and open tab. Thats kinda true. It easy, Im really bad at this. Never had a lesson thouht, so just bad. I borrow soure code. The mess Im put me this weird spot where I got the freedom of a high level but no requrments. The reason I have so many rules on my block. It sounds good but its all stems from identity theft. I was was taking too. Kidnapping or Im a stowaway. It wasnt that dramatic. It took place over a 5-year period. So was more anouying. Traumatizing
Thank you. I will select the three you have flagged. Do you have a recommendation for two more? I will follow up with the new processing time
I have a lot more lists and perform on an zbox with core i5 8th generation. 16GB RAM no problems with response. About 25ms.
Disable all my lists except for those noted by Yo_2T, Response dropped initially to 35 ms. Using an Odroid N2+ 4GB/64GB eMMC. I am also behind a Firewalla Gold Router/Firewall. My blocked rate had dropped from 25% to about 12%. Much of my previous blocking was Roku activity. I will watch for awhile.
Hagezi Tif and Pro++ nothing else. Maximum protection and very well curated.
How does Hagezi lists compare to firebog?
