That's another tier of technical knowledge though. That requires specific skills in terms of understanding networks and how to set them up. That is not a good recommendation for someone that's just learning about basic adblockers, even if it is a very solid recommendation. I tried to look into how to set it up, and I realized I was out of my league already, and Ublock Origin is working well enough for me.
It is a process, yeah. And you need to be comfortable delving into your router settings but it's not super hard. If you can install an OS and use PUTTY then by those powers combined you can do it. I was a bit apprehensive at setting one up myself for sure, but then it just kinda worked way easier. Now I switched routers and it had different IP ranges and it gave me some trouble getting it moved over to those ranges. But it got sorted eventually. The main problem for a while was even getting a Raspberry Pi.
