Thanks for checking it out! I actually am the sort of person that runs a pi-hole at home on a pi, but I wanted my family's devices to be blocking ads also when we left the house, and I found it a pain to always be asking to install extensions on each of the browsers on each of the computers, so a cloud offering let me manage it in one place (after setting up the DNS). I figured I was not alone as a hacker/tinkerer with a family and though others might benefit.

Yeah fair enough! Personally I wouldn't pay for a service like this as I have infrastructure at home that I run it on, and there are some privacy concerns around routing all my DNS traffic through a third party.
