I’m new to the whole DNS filtering thing.

I mainly want to get rid of youtube ads, regular ads and all ad trackers.

I have come across posts/replies of people saying pihole is not secure unless it’s configured correctly and that noobs should use adguard home instead.

Is this true? If so, is there an easy way(like copying some open source config) to setup a pihole to be as secure as it can be?
