can we get a pi-hole thread and talk about what I hope all of you are running on your networks?

bloat, just use a hosts file if you want to do DNS-based blocking. if its a device you can't put a hosts file on, its a device that shouldn't be on your network to begin with.
Zachary Parker
will you shut up? I like laughing at these threads. Autists love the colors and graphs. They're the same ones that choose linux distros because of how "pretty" their desktops are
Cooper Brooks
OH NO HIS DEVICE SHOWS ANALYTICS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Cameron Wright
Useful for adblocking with devices that can't due it. Retarded if you think that it's a uBlock/uMatrix replacement.
I use it for my retro computers since the browsers are old and memory is scarce it allows me to have adblocking which helps getting them online as smoothly as possible.
I just run Pi-Hole in a VM, no reason for me to spend money for this.
Jackson Reed
11.5K QUERIES BLOCKED!!! SO FASCINATING! WHATEVER WILL I DO WITH THAT INFORMATION!!!!!
Joseph Cook
My router handles all that.
Michael Johnson
>having less than 2M entries
Never gonna make it
Gavin Cruz
So you go to every device on your network and manually modify hosts files? If you're too much of an elitist to use pihole because of graphs then use nginx directly and stop being fucking retarded
Matthew Anderson
blow it out your ass
Blake Watson
If I browse the internet from a VM (KVM) - can I run Pi-hole from another VM on the same hypervisor, or do I need to run Pi-hole from a different physical device?
Daniel Taylor
Can you describe your setup? I'm interested in running it from a VM.
Grayson Ramirez
You can run it on the same hypervisor as long as the PiHole VM is on the same network and on the same bridge as your other VM. Just modify your DNS settings to point to your PiHole VM IP.
Asher Baker
that graph looks like ship/battlecruiser
Asher Brooks
Just running a light install of Debian (I made a base VM image that I clone for various appliances so I don't have to set it up every time), and installed PiHole via Docker.
github.com
You can do it on top of any Linux distro really as long as you have Docker installed.
I just suspend and resume the VM as needed.
Kayden Ramirez
tell me single reason why should I bother when there is ublock for desktop browsers and blokada for android?
Lincoln Morales
For devices that can't use adblocking software (TVs, embedded devices, non-rooted phones, old computers, game consoles, Chomebooks, iProducts, etc, etc).
It is dumb for any Win/Linux desktop or laptop.
Asher Butler
make absolutely sure nothing sneaks by
Evan Allen
>nginx for adblocking
I mean sure it's not impossible, but why?
Dominic Taylor
Because pihole is for casuals and anyone who doesn't use ublock is a massive troglodyte.
Adrian Walker
see Its not that hard of a concept dudes, jesus
Andrew Barnes
If you're a pleb at simple network configuration, which is simpler than furniture assembly. There is nothing to discuss or argue here on a Taiwanese picture profiling web assembly.
Christopher Powell
What the fuck are you even talking about?
Its just a DNS filter man, this isn't "simple network configuration", and the devices I mentioned don't always support editing of HOSTS files, or even have one.
Are you retarded?
Lucas Martinez
Get an expensive router or build your own. Note we're still not talking about the actual fucking program in the OP.
Levi Cox
Still why would you use nginx for the task? That seems hella out of place. Usually you'd use something like dnsmasq.
Brayden Gonzalez
Because it lets you use it both as a Proxy and/or a DNS server, so it gives you flexibility that dnsmasq cant.
Charles Collins
Actually I just change DNS in my router
Luis Wilson
>all those fucking spynet DNS servers
consider switching to opennic servers
Jonathan Parker

????????
Jack Reed
are you the same moron of the previsious threads?
Adam Ortiz
I stopped plugging my raspi in.
Mason Flores
DHCP points to AD integrated DNS servers, that have forwarders to an tinkerboard running pi-hole.
> Hosts file
Were you dropped on your head as a baby? Custom hosts files don't scale.

It's interesting to add black list domain.
I add up to 2 M domain blocked
Just Google pi hole block list ;)
Aiden Wood
> He doesn't know how to read trending data...
I actually do, and I did. What do you do with your pihole trending data? Do you draw up projectsions and show your board members?

Why not use good old adblock and app-level firewall which could be turned off when necessary?
It might be good for TVs and other shit but using raspberry is still an overkill. Every modern router could use adblock lists.
Jace Collins
I used to run pihole but my raspberry pi would randomly be offline after a few days, and it was annoying to have to constantly check if I could ssh in or if it bugged out and was broken. I'm not blaming pihole software, I'm unsure if it's the SD card, actual raspi hardware from it's years of use, or my power source/outlet that was causing it. After I formatted, checked the card and reinstalled raspbian lite it's been up for almost a month without issues so I'll probably set it back up again soon if it stays stable. I personally have AdAway and ublock origin on my phone but for anyone else on my network, blocking as much tracking/ads as possible is worth it even if my devices won't need it.
Asher Jackson
Besides the **oooo pretty lines**, the dashboard is a nice way to find potentially problematic filters. You easily test by whitelisting certain domains from the client itself, which would otherwise be a pain digging through logs on a remote server/firewall or disabling certain lists and crossing your fingers. The graphs and analytics are just fluff t bh.
John Williams
>my power source/outlet that was causing it
Check this and make sure you have enough voltage 5V+. I had stability issues like crazy until I realized i was under-powering it
Hunter Bailey
It says it's 2.5a 5v but it's old and it's a no name random psu, probably not giving it enough, so I'll eventually get something better for it if I get more problems.
