This. It’s super easy to set up and as close to “baked into HA” you can get without it actually being part of the core OS, which technically many of the everyday things we consider “core HA” aren’t, like Samba integrations, MQTT, etc.
Thanks guys, this one I’m already using. 
I had something different in mind… 
Hello everyone, one question to the Pi-Hole integration: that little switch that is available in the HASS integration, this doesn’t work for me:
I cannot “disable blocking” on the Pi-Hole with this switch. I have not set a password on the Pi-Hole. Does anybody know how to make it work?
Do you have unset/not set a password to access the Pi-Hole?
If so it is a known issue. You’ll find a workaround there too.

Yes, I have not set a password. Thanks a lot for the hint and the workaround!

AdGuard Home has russian origin. So supply chain attack is possible

AdGuard Home is open source GPL 3.0. Wikipedia says out of Cyprus - with enough eyes on it, it doesn’t matter greek or russian or polish or ukrainian or indian or chinese or american insofar as “supply chain attack is possible”. Plenty of scammers came out of all those places, and plenty of good coders too. It’s all in the code.

I do not recommend using any AdGuard software or blocklist for the following reasons:
-
AdGuard Software Limited was founded in Moscow in 2009. While the company is currently legally registered in Cyprus, its main office remains physically located in Moscow, a fact confirmed by company employees. AdGuard continues to operate in Russia, conduct business, hire employees there, and pay taxes, which contribute to funding Russian missiles and its army.
-
Despite its claims of openness, AdGuard has not undergone independent security audits from large, reputable firms such as PricewaterhouseCoopers AG, Cure53, or KPMG.
-
There is evidence suggesting that AdGuard VPN traffic is routed through a provider in occupied Ukrainian territory – Khersontelecom, which is connected to Rostelecom via Crimea. Furthermore, AdGuard refers to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine as a “conflict” rather than an invasion or war, aligning with the terminology used in Russian propaganda.

I’d also prefer Pi-hole + HomeAssistant OS (HASS-IO) ngl, and then maybe I’d pick a trusted adblocker to manually install in specific devices/browsers as an extension.
Tho it’s not like I can do anything now if there’s not an Arm Debian/Pi port 
But now that I think about it… I coulda sworn there was reference to recent movement on Portainer Docker in one of the HASS beta patchnotes that just got published, Still have Tailscale, ZeroTier, and the other networking-related stuff aswell.
- Hopefully going forward it’d be less work & after released online then Pihole can just be installed using documentation/guides, a terminal, and whatever other plug-in could help split things between both HomeAssistant Core/Supervisor & the other newly introduced half (I.e. The one that includes PiHole) Ideally not two separate VM’s running two separate images though, that might be too messy to have it automatically setup by itself for end-user.
And it shouldn’t be impossible for us all to DIY an almost janky kind of PiHole ‘plug-in’ repository for HomeAssistant ourselves, before writing documentation/guides (for users that don’t want to deal with mess) on installing from that, right? ( Assuming it can theoretically be pulled from some backports or whatever app pkg format HASS-OS can get additional support added for? ) 
2026 check, still looking for Pi-hole add-on in HA
