        I used to run a pihole but I replaced it with pfB. Basic functionality is simple to configure via the wizard. Both Netgate and Lawrence Systems have excellent YouTube video tutorials on getting it running.

          I do not have squid/squidguard, but do have proxhttps proxy/privoxy and pihole. It works great though a bit slower then with only pihole involved.
          Pihole with unbound and cloudflared is really fast. The advantage with privoxy is that you can tweak a bit better then with only dns based blocking.

              I don't really see the point. They essentially do the same job. They even use some of the same blacklists.

                I just learned. . .
                Squid can be forced to lock down to a specified dns

                dns_nameservers "PI-hole dns ip address"
