Quick noob question, apologies in advance.
I am running PiFi with AdGuard enabled and I want to temporarily disable AdGuard for testing. What is the correct way to do this?
Can it be disabled cleanly via the PiFi or OpenWrt interface, or do I need to stop a service from the command line?
Also, do any AdGuard related packages need to be removed from OpenWrt if I want it fully disabled, or is stopping or disabling the service enough?

Visit PiFi App > Settings > AdGuard Home .
Tap the toggle (highlighted in yellow in image) then tap Disable AdGuard
Out of interest - run into any issues?

Thanks got it. no issue just prefer to run adblocking locally / browser - I know i can disable protection but i just want to disable adguard fully. glad I don’t need to dive into OpenWrt. Thanks for quick reply.
