as z4rk said
but I'd also like to add that you can use pi-hole instead on a local old computer
it gives the same functionality, but self-hosted
I use a pi-hole. This works great for all devices in your home network. But as soon as you use mobile data on your phone instead of your home WiFi, you no longer have these benefits.
you can use a local VPN server (wireguard) and always connect to it on your mobile devices
yeah, obviously leaving stuff to other companies like nextdns will always be more convenient, but now you have to trust them
