AdGuardHome and WireGuard running at home. WireGuard connects on-demand when I leave home.
I choose to run it at home because there are cases where services and/or sites block datacenter IPs, and I have complete control over what and how I block, no proxying through any blocking service.
Fixing the problem itself would likely require legislation and regulation to get ad tech companies (or the companies that use the ad tech) to pay attention to the data use.
Im curious how much time or money you’d be willing to invest and spend monthly to have this solved simply?
AdGuardHome is fairly straightforward: https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome?tab=readme-ov-fil...
And here is a nice script to install wireguard: https://github.com/angristan/wireguard-install
And you'll likely need to forward the WireGuard port.
