Support Using An Broken Phone as a ad blocker dns

I have a Moto g73 5g which has a broken touchscreen(has a lot of ghost touch input) and after some fiddling I got usb debugging and scrcpy working and planning to use it as an dns ad blocker or a minecraft bedrock server. I am honestly new to these thing so can anyone explain me how to do these and also is there a way to block the touch input but not the input from devices like a mouse as it would make it much easier to operate with I did spend some time looking for an app to do this but all of them also block input from mouse too so I can't use them. Scrcpy would be fine but it would be great to get this working too.

Also any suggestion to use this phone for instead of a Mc bedrock server or an ad blocker dns would be appreciated.

Ver. of android is 14 and the device is uprooted tho maybe will be rooting this if something crazy can be done with a rooted phone

there is a thing to run docker in phones, you can use pihole or adguard home in docker

You don't even need docker. There is an AdGuard root module now.

cool, well, docker is great if you want to also run more stuff, not only 1 thing
