If you run adguard home with long blocklists on a consumer-level router, this will cause big delays, simply because the blocklists are large and eat all available memory and lots of processing on any dns request.

I've kept de blocklists in adguard home small, and then it works fine, but if I add hundreds of thousands of blocked domains, it gets painfully slow on my Edgerouter X running OpenWRT

The Edgerouter X had good specs for the time it was released but that was over 9 years ago at this point. I had to replace mine a few years ago because it didn't have the thruput for my 1Gbs internet connection.

Many modern consumer routers contain processors and memory which can easily handle Adguard Home. I have a GL.iNet MT-6000 with a MediaTek Filogic 830 processor which has 4 ARM A53 cores running at 2Ghz and offloads wifi and wired network packet processing from the cores. It also has 1GB of DDR4 memory. It has no problem handling Adguard home, my 1Gbs internet connection and gives me around 900Mbs of wirguard thruput.

I'm using same set of Blocklists (800k-1M rulesets) in my comparison between Adguard and Blocky with same upstream resolver.

I'm running them as system service on my laptop, and using my localhost as dns proxy.
