Raspberry Pi dnsmasq performance

0

I want to block ads in my whole network with dnsmasq running on a Raspberry Pi, connected via Ethernet to the router. Is there any reason to take a RPi3? Or is a RPi2 also sufficient for that task?

Shouldn't it be "just" dns queries that don't require a lot of bandwidth? Or am I overlooking something?

Would you say, that even a RPI1 would be sufficient (not that I have a spare one, but I am just curious)? Is there any reason that dnsmasq uses too much CPU / too much RAM for a RPI1? – user1252280 – 2018-04-27T19:23:40.787

No clue. I would think it would mostly be a memory requirement though – Eric F – 2018-04-27T19:43:23.133
