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:

  1. 1Hosts (mini) 68549

  2. AdAway Default Blocklist 6540

  3. AdGuard DNS filter 58357

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
