A Raspberry Pi running Pi-hole[1] works really well in my household. We have 20+ devices and 2 adults, 2 kids, connecting to a combination of wifi and ethernet and all get DNS automatically assigned to the Pi-hole. I routinely see ~ 20-30% of all outgoing DNS requests blocked by the Pi-hole.

Note you don't need a Raspberry Pi to run Pi-hole, you can run it using a Docker image too.

Does this setup block youtube ads on iPads for example?

Not in the app, but it blocks youtube ads in browser. Blocking ads in YT app is next to impossible with pihole.

yes in the browser
