Absolutely, but your talking about a completely different threat model. AdGuard Home and NextDNS solve a different problem. They aren’t anonymity tools. They’re privacy and control tools. DNS over TLS over Tor is the right move when the threat model requires anonymity from the resolver itself. That’s a different job than what AdGuard Home or NextDNS are doing. And Tor doesn’t replace DNS filtering. Almost nobody wants their entire network pinned through Tor. Tor is powerful, but most home setups won’t tolerate the latency or fragility. It’s best as an additional lane, not a replacement. Different tools, different jobs, different threat models.

The link I provided is for adapting a PiHole which does in fact provide those features. Yes, there is added latency because of the tor network (a feature, not a bug), but I have been running this setup for about 5 years now behind an OPNsense router with little to no issue.
