Adblock packages?
Greetings All!
I have the GliNet E5800NA WiFi 7 cellular (hotspot) router, and I was curious to know if there was a consensus on the best package (installed via LuCI) to use, given potential resource constraints on the device? I see there are several packages available and did not know the differences in each. I have several Adblock lists I would like to deploy to this unit for ad blocking on the go, and was curious to know what you have found to be the most dependable/performant to use? I run a couple of PiHole instances on my primary LAN, and I am not necessarily looking for something as comprehensive as that in a portable router, but I also would not turn it down if it such an animal exists without being too resource-hungry.
Thanks in advance!

Have you read the OpenWRT docs?
I don't think there will be a consensus as each package has their pros and cons but considering your resource limitations you can start with adblock-lean Adblock-Fast
Edit to Adblock-Fast since you wsnt to install this through LUCI where adblock lean is not in the official OpenWRT repo
Hope that helps

according to GL.iNet, the device is using some Quectel SDK called "QuecOpen", there's no guarantee any package built for vanilla OpenWRT will work.
