I made a thread on it years ago with all info needed. Been telling people it's the truth.
Any Pi-hole users here?

link it here so i dont have to type all that shyt up please
its pretty straightforward
i own this model (version 3b+v2) Buy a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ – Raspberry Pi but i'd spring for the Pi 4
after that you just need a microSD card (32GB was enough for me) and those are around $12.. usually come with a full size SD adapter you can stick in a laptop (you can get USB ones cheap online as well). the raspberrypi people make the best OS for it IMO. raspberryPi OS. just download the program and point it at your sdcard path.
this tutorial will get you set up right.. you dont have to use Docker. its pretty automated and takes about 10 minutes to set up.
i also installed RetroArch on it and have been gettin my ass beat in Zombies Ate My Neighbors for SNES all afternoon

Pi Hole - Ad Block YOUR WHOLE NETWORK!!! $30
Brehs, I had to share, this is THE shyt. This is a free program you install on a Raspberry Pi (30 dollars). It's a DNS server with built in filtering. You can point devices at it individually, or, point your router at it to Ad Block your WHOLE HOUSE. :blessed: I have damn near no Linux...

my next project is gonna be setting up remotes for this thing...
only thing i dont like about my Pis is having to use a wireless keyboard
i dont have kids, but these things would be GREAT for getting kids into engineering and programming

Do you have to configure pi-hole to whitelist Xbox Live and PSN domains?
yes

What’s the settings if you just want to do it on a router level
Point your router to it as the DNS.
Been running 2 of these (one virtual, one on a Pi) for a few years... Once you get the initial config up it's pretty low maintenance.
Grab a few block lists from here: The Big Blocklist Collection
Any sites or apps that don't work, you can whitelist the URLs in the settings. I also have a hotlink set up in my bookmarks to disable blocking for 5 minutes since you will run into some poorly built sites that break.
One thing to watch out for is that both Android and Apple phones sometimes have their DNS servers hardcoded to bypass your local DNS settings so they can get their tracking and ads in..
To get around this you need to set up firewall rules to only allow DNS traffic to your PiHole but that requires some work on your router.

To what ? What’s the dns … I read you can do this without the pi-hole

Yes, in the past. Haven't spun the container back up since moving last year because I've been slowly building out new network and virtual infrastructure at the new house.
To the IP address of the Pi-Hole. You can do it without it, but the Pi-Hole is way more powerful and customizable.

I don't even remember where my pi-hole is at. I'd have to look for it lol.
