Pi-Hole is a network-wide ad blocker that runs on a Raspberry Pi. It intercepts all DNS requests made by devices on your network and blocks requests to known advertising and tracking domains. In addition to blocking ads, Pi-Hole can also block malware and phishing sites, making your internet browsing experience safer.

After the installation is complete, Pi-Hole should be up and running on your Raspberry Pi. You can access the Pi-Hole dashboard by navigating to the IP address of your Raspberry Pi in a web browser.

Configuration

Once Pi-Hole is installed, you can configure it to your liking using the web dashboard. From the dashboard, you can view and add ad-lists, configure DNS settings, and customize block pages.

To make full use of Pi-Hole, you should also configure your devices to use your Raspberry Pi as their DNS server. This can usually be done by changing the DNS settings in the network settings of your device.
