Got a pi hole, what are ads in general?
I know that I'm at fault here for using such services, but Pihole can't block the ads that are hosted on the same server as the service, eg. Half the ads on Youtube.
It's still really good for privacy though, blocking mIcRoSoFt spyware and all kinds of other stuft. And you can create your own blocklists.
I just got a pihole setup and im curious how youd block Microsoft stuff using it. Is it part of a blocklist or is it something you manually filtered?
one of Dan's list blocks a bunch of them, has something like 500k item on it.
Gotcha, thanks for sharing :)
Just know that DoH is probably going to ruin the fun for you. Unless your blocking all DoH hosts.
In my Opnsense setup I have some lists added to block all traffic to known DoH servers...
Oh, definitely!
I have a handful of SFF mini desktops at my disposal. Sure not as low power as a pi but pi’s are a pain to get right now. Could pi-hole be implemented well using an X86 sff machine?
Like can I just run it on my Linux desktop?
nextdns is also pretty good.
This is what I use, made it hard for me to move to Firefox because I already don't get ads in chrome and it is better supported, which is honestly a personal failing on my end
dns blockers are not a suitable replacement for Dom/css based blockers
Fair, but it's good enough
