I’ve set up adguard as a docker container running on my homelab before but it felt like it slowed almost every device on my network to a crawl. The docker container was running on an ssd but the only thing I could think of was that it was slowing every device down because it was searching the list of disallowed domains each time for far too long. So I disabled it and went back to some “ad blocking” euro dns option on my router.
I am getting ready to bite the bullet again though now that discord is pushing there bullshit ads into the mobile app. Can’t stand that shit and apparently all the “quest” ads can be blocked by DNS.

What were you running it on? Pihole is basically the same thing and runs just fine on older raspberry pi hardware (I had it on a 2 or 3 before moving to an AdGuard VM). It sounds like there may have been a configuration issue somewhere in your chain.
