Pihole

t. sòybóy

You don't have a gigabit connection. Stop lying user.

>wasting a pi on this
you could do the same with openwrt

I prefer client-side blocking.

It was effecting some sites and how they function. Just random sites and drop down menu's. Certian shoping websites, it's just easier to let add block be on the client side.

If this thread exists already, what are the default webadmin port and login?

You can run a pihole on an actual Linux machine so your precious gigabit won't suffer

i enjoy giving the pages i browse the adsense they deserve, ia lso want to kill this trash pc with viruses thats why i let ads enlarge my pc pussy

Because I'm not a basement dweller. My network devices have better ad blocking solutions anyway.

I have a PC, a notebook and a smartphone. All of them block ads better than pee hole ever could.

dnsIP/admin

but you can block more than ads

How long until we can meme this into existence for all corporate networks?
"For security, we have to block ad delivered malware"

Whatever you name, end devices can do it better than pee hole.

What network/DNS adblocker is as good as ublock origin?

Only dns queries are redirected to pi nigger

Doesn't exist. UO is the best solution.

I do

I haven't used my pi in over three years, what do I install on it to run pihole
Is raspbian still the standard?

Because I'm not a wincuck who needs a separate machine in order to babysit their main botnetbox

Where can i get host files to add to pihole?

Im using my pee hole also as dhcp server, works great. I hate ads with a passion.

but i do

What lists are you even using to get 3 million entries? i only got ~800k

almost all of the ones listed on .

the porn list accounts for probably 50% of those entries

ye

Do you think I'll be able to update a three-four year old install smoothly or should I just flash a fresh one?

personally i would start over with a fresh install. should only take 10 minutes to set up.

once you reinstall, remember to sudo raspi-config and go through all the sub-menus to set it up

I heard it blocks a lot of porn so I never bothered

because i don't want my dns queries to fail every 2 weeks when the SD card dies

get an MMC card. SD is botnet

I run ublock, privacybadger and noscript on my devices, why do I need this again?

embedded ads/tracking in mobile applications, etc.

also removes tracking from guests who use your wifi... that is assuming you have people visit you, which based on your post, is probably not the case

...

>your wifi enabled devices that don't offer a browser?
Which devices would those be?

So I don't need to log into a remote system every time my adblocker dicks up a site I'm trying to use.
If the treatment is more disruptive than the disease it defeats the purpose. I run ublock in the browser so I can tune it for pages on the fly. Worse case I can switch to IE and see a site that otherwise fails. A network-level adblocker breaks this system and offers no easy work-around.

pls stop shilling this

I tried to but my raspi 3 would shut down the ethernet port after a couple hours and it wouldn't work anymore.
It was weird as fuck. Tried asking in the subreddit and searching everywhere but couldn't fix it.
Now my raspi is collecting dust since I can just plug my laptop to my TV and play retro shit there

I use a lot of filters with pfblockerng and I have never had issues from it. Most of the good filters make sure of this. I also use umatrix and ublock origin.

It literally has a website so you don't have to remote. You would just log into the console and disable for X time and if it's dicking up the site you're trying to use consider killing yourself for going to sites that require adware to work.

Because the only devices on my network are ones that have better adblocking software on them.

Also,
>having a dedicated adblocking device when your router could be doing it all for you

What should I be using for router-level blocking?

Idon't like botnets.

I'm a brainlet, if I install it with VPN using the official guide, it gives me two options: allow all traffic through the VPN or configure iptables carefully. What are the tradeoffs? On one hand a good firewall is important, but on the other hand, assuming I keep my OpenVPN certificates secure, is there any risk at all in just allowing everything?
Also do I need to do additional configuration/firewalling to secure my pi outside the VPN interface? Assuming a default raspbian install. Or configure additional port forwarding on my home router? On one hand I would assume so, on the other hand the guide makes it sound like it should just werk.

Sorry, I'm shit at networking

>open sauce
>can make your own list
>it is botnet

sure is summer here

Is a pi good enough to also run my own DNS server on it? Or would I need something more powerful

Yes. Is good enough because you only ask for dns on it. If you are going to use it as a router, you are going to have a bad time.

>he relies on domain-based blocking for everything
Endpoint blocking is more flexible and reliable, plus for mobile devices you'll need it anyway, or do you want to have ads in public wifis? (Technically you should always connect to a self-hosted VPN outside of your home net, yeah)

> (Technically you should always connect to a self-hosted VPN outside of your home net, yeah)
This is the main reason for me to use this. Also for some consoles and for guests' devices.

That's not how this works, you idiot.

Why wouldnt you use both? Some devices in homes connected to the internet can't have host lists added or its just easier to block on the network level. I dont use pi-hole, I use pfBlockerNG btw.

I do, but i don't have nearly as many blocks. I think it's because μmatrix filters most scripts that try to access blocked sites

Do I have to let the pihole be the main and only DHCP server to see the other clients? Right now it's only showing stats for localhost and my computer's IP. My phones/etc that I've setup with static IPs are working great, but are never acknowledged in the pihole stats

Bump

Slap default raspbian on it, don't change a thing and see if it still dies. It might be a hardware issue.

because my edgerouter made it obsolete. twas fun and worked well while i used it tho.

set your router's lan dhcp with the pihole machine as the dns.
you can even VPN the DNS queries so wherever you are in the world, you won't get ads while browsing.

Because I didn't know you could.

Because I rely on a dns service to do it for me and I literally have to type 2 sets of numbers into a config page for my router and that's it.

But honestly, if your preference is to jump thru 15 different hoops to get the same result - go for it m8.

Why are people obsessed with finding the worst possible designs for adblockers?
DNS-based filtering is in general a bad idea. If I request the DNS records associated with a domain dame, I want the server to return a correct answer as quickly as possible. The type of content associated with the domain is irrelevant - that's not a DNS servers job. If I don't want anything from a site, then I also don't want to send a DNS request for it. And applying that kind of filtering across a whole network just makes it even more inconvenient, because then I'd have to move to a different DNS server (and lose my adblocking!) whenever I actually WANT my DNS queries to be answered correctly.

No alternatives for android based blocking (thanks google)

Using large hosts files is even worse since it impacts both performance of the machine and network

You wouldn't say this if you tried it with good filters. No problems with pfsense here.

>No alternatives for android based blocking
Firefox with uBlock Origin.

>Using large hosts files is even worse
Yeah, don't do that.

>Firefox with uBlock Origin.
it only blocks the inbrowser ads. Not to mention I don't want to go anywhere near firefox

>Yeah, don't do that.
I don't.

You've got the right idea. The ideal situation would be client-side blocking of DNS. Ideally something like piHole, but that can run as a program instead of a separate device, that way your network is not the point of congestion, the OS is.

>it only blocks the inbrowser ads.
As opposed to what?

>Not to mention I don't want to go anywhere near firefox
What browser do you use on your phone?

>The ideal situation would be client-side blocking of DNS.
The ideal solution is for applications to not send unwanted requests. Any kind of DNS or Hosts based blocking, where you try and fight against the application you're running, is approaching the problem from the wrong end

>As opposed to what?
In-app ads ? Like what else

>What browser do you use on your phone?
Microsoft Edge

The only downside is that the code could possibly run a bit before the ad blocker picks it up. This blocks most of the shit before it touches your PC

It has a webui you moron. You point your browser to 192.168.x.x/admin and change it. How is it any different than opening up the options page for ublock? Maybe you shouldn't comment on things you clearly have no experience with?

Redpill a semi retard on pihole.
Iirc pihole stands between your device and router. Wouldn't that halve the available bandwidth? Why why not?
If you ever go outside your house what will you do? Carry your pihole and plug it to someone's internet?
Sorry but I think blocking ads on your device itself would be far more easy and convenient.

>Using large hosts files is even worse since it impacts both performance of the machine and network
Been using mvps + other entries on numerous machines with diff os's - no perceived lag. Ever.

>Wouldn't that halve the available bandwidth? Why why not?
Full duplex

I've never noticed any slowdown with adaway
