Pihole is open source software, so it is free and can run on basically any hardware. You could use an old laptop, a raspberry pi or other cheap SoC, and I think it might even be possible to run on something like an old Android phone.
Aye but I don’t have any old hardware lying around to use, so I’d need a Raspberry Pi for it. Again, money just feels like it’s getting tighter everyday that such a rather trivial purchase makes me think twice now.
I should really invest in a PiHole. I’m just inherently lazy at times and always feel like I’m short on funds.

If your router is OpenWRT it might be possible to run right on the router itself, but I’m not 100% sure
The router actually has DNS options for working to block ads built in it, I might give that try after work today.
You can use something like NextDNS at the router level and it works well.
