    amtm Creating a 2GB Swap file in amtm lasts forever, what's wrong?

    Diversion vs AdGuardHome?

    I would say Diversion is slightly lighter on the system than Adguard. Diversion is set and forget whereas Adguard has its own webui and is more customisable. Try them both and see what you like. Both are amazing at what they do , block ads and trackers. BTW Adguard is also available via AMTM as...
