       | I have to say installation on Ubuntu Server (which I run on a Pi4
       | just fine) couldn't be easier as it is as simple as 'sudo snap
       | install adguard-home' and it all just works. Very nice.

       | At first it was a for a few minutes at a time, then a few hours
       | at a time, then overnight.

       | I quit trying to use it and the problems went away.

         | simplest answer is usually that cable modem service sucks.
