People who use Adguard home or pie hole along with a vpn at router level, do you use any firewall apps on your phone aswell? (lemmy.ml)

This is aimed at iOS users more, but do any of you use any firewall apps like 1 blocker fire wall or adguard dns.

The reason I’m asking is if you have all them things at router level what good does it do on a device level?

Very true, I’ve also noted that controlD can actually spoof your ip, so I suppose there is no need for vpn
