This is aimed at iOS users more, but do any of you use any firewall apps like 1 blocker fire wall or adguard dns.
The reason I’m asking is if you have all them things at router level what good does it do on a device level?

I don’t run VPNs at the router level. The speed and latency hit, plus the spambot triggers aren’t worth it for me. This is purely a non-privacy minded preference, mind you, and I’m totally not an expert.
You bring up a good point though. Regardless of what’s running upstream, if my device is running private relay, it all gets bypassed. So I have to disable private relay.
My preference is to run nextdns over DoH, AdGuard locally on iOS + Stop the Madness, and a VPN when I’m feeling sheepish.
That makes sense, is it possible to use advised dns along with a vpn on iOS? I’m sure I read it somewhere but I don’t remember.
It does suck however that if you use private relay it doesn’t work very well.
