I run mine on a PI 0. Also use it as a samba disk partition for transferring files.
No performance impacts on regular browsing? I never dared to run a DNS on a wifi only device. Or are you using some kind of Ethernet over USB thing?
I’m running mine on a pi 0. Very slight latency difference - like 2-3ms. Totally worth it for blocking 30% of garbage on average. The decrease in time it takes to load anything more than makes up for the latency. We have over 20 devices on wifi. Both my son and I play online games and the only time I blame lag is when I suck lol.
I figured the latency would be no greater then going out to default dns, maybe a bit less.
