I used an adblock package in pfSense but not OpenWRT. The issues I had with pfSense's package was it wasn't nearly as configurable as pi-hole and it used up a bit too many resources on the Soekris 5505 box. I had to uninstall it because it took too many resources.

I ended up installing Docker on my laptop, grabbing the Pi-Hole container, and configuring my laptop to use the docker container as the DNS server.

So far this has worked very well. Wherever I go, I have pihole running in the background. I can access the web interface and do everything I could do on the rasp pi-hole, without the extra hardware. It does take a minute or two to start up in the background after logging in though.
