Pi-Hole

Pi-hole is a network-wide ad blocking solution that can be installed on a supported operating system or deployed in a container. It works by configuring your router’s DHCP options to force clients to use Pi-hole as their DNS server, or by manually configuring each device to use the Pi-hole as their DNS server. This allows for network-level blocking of advertisements, including in-app advertisements on mobile apps and smart TVs. By blocking advertisements before they are downloaded, Pi-hole improves network performance and reduces bandwidth usage. The Web interface provides control of your Pi-hole and a central place to view statistics, including query logs, long-term statistics, and audit logs. Pi-hole also includes features such as a built-in DHCP server, manage white and black lists, and privacy modes. With Pi-hole, you can block ads everywhere, even on the go, by pairing it with a VPN. This makes it an ideal solution for homes, businesses, and organizations looking to improve network performance and reduce distractions.
