Summary of what was posted earlier:
1) this is just a onerep rebrand.
2) there's this list: https://github.com/yaelwrites/Big-Ass-Data-Broker-Opt-Out-Li...
3) a yn startup called optery is a competitor, kanary is also decent I think. I think the optery founder said 1 common use case is you can sign up for 3 months and then cancel. optery has a 20% coupon for men: ug2jhG1j and this one for women: olCpMjJI or maybe they're vice versa.

I'm curious what issues you ran into with Pi-hole? I was running my instance for years without a single hiccup. I ended up moving to AdGuard Home about a year ago though because I wanted to run it on my OPNSense box.
I have an automatic WireGuard VPN set up on my devices to VPN into my home network when I'm not connected to my SSID, so my local DNS still works remotely.
I think op's saying local DNS was fine and preferred, just not usable outside the home network.
Wait what, why would a data broker partner with a company whose entire purpose is to reduce the completeness of their dataset?
If you ever do this manually, the data brokers that have data removal options will first show you an ad for using a removal site. Because that way, they at least get a cut of the proceeds when you sign up. Data brokers don't get much benefit from people doxing $some_random, other than a few dollars for every thousand people who do that. But, they can get $10s of dollars for when $some_random signs up with their affiliate link.
So, you have a clear conflict of interest with onerep not blocking data brokers from their affiliate. It probably doesn't go very deep, but with the subscription-based nature of these privacy services you start to wonder what happens when you churn...
> Optery (YC W22)
Nothing against your company specifically, but at this stage anything associated with YN is a negative.
I think if you express an opinion like that you ought to say why too. It could be you have a point. But you could also be (mis)interpreted as a critic who, instead of building things themself, finds imperfections in things the real builders make...
One of the issues are OneRep's affiliate partnerships with the very data brokers you're paying them to remove you from: https://imgur.com/a/juSC66b
Any other issues besides that possible conflict of interest? Also, you're the founder of a competing service, right?
I just do not believe this story. Nobody in the right mind will fire key software engineer 48 hours after system goes live. This is where all the bugs/problems show up and you need all hands on deck to fix them.
Six months after launch when all problems are solved - absolutely, you can fire engineer. 48 hours after launch? absolutely not.
Reading between the lines I just figured it was a crypto quant firm.
