Pi-Hole: https://pi-hole.net/
Especially interesting for on-premises Cloudrons

• Network-wide ad blocking via your own Linux hardware
• Block Over 100,000 Ad-serving Domains: Known ad-serving domains are pulled from third party sources and compiled into one list.
• Block Advertisements On Any Device: Network-level blocking you to block ads in non-traditional placed such as mobile apps and smart TVs, regardless of hardware or OS.
• Improve Overall Network Performance: Since ads are blocked before they are downloaded, your network will perform better.
• Reduce Cellular Data Usage: Pair your Pi-hole with a VPN for on-the-go ad-blocking and save on data costs.
• Monitor Performance And Statistics: The Web interface shows how many ads were blocked, a query log, and more.
• API: Utilize Pi-hole’s API in your scripting or programing projects.

Looks like this can be easily packaged as an app once we have UDP support in Cloudron. https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/issues/504

Should ideally provide an option to limit access to the local network only. I wonder if this would entail changes to box though
