A black hole for Internet advertisements. Contribute to pi-hole/pi-hole development by creating an account on GitHub.
Pi-hole is invaluable for more lightweight and safer browsing by blocking ads at the dns level. It also gives you some utilities for assigning domains to ips which can make a home network easier to handle.
carefully put this here so you can block all ads in your entire home network
Are You Tired of Internet Ads and Trackers?
Do you want to block them on every device on your network?
Set up a Pi-hole today!
All you need is a computer that's always on, access to your router's configuration settings, and can-do attitude!
Want to take these benefits with you wherever you go? Install Tailscale and keep the comfort of your Pi-hole even when you're away from home!
Don't delay, set up your Pi-hole today!
i'm actually going to cry. 2 more hours and i actually got pi-hole working, my static dns set up, everything working. and now the internet doesn't work when i force it through the static server. and come to find out that youtube and many other major sites serve their ads through the youtube.com domain so you can't even block them without blocking the domain itself. what's the point
Okay so I usually have my Pi-hole on and it blocks most of the ads in my house (which I highly recommend, instructions here, it sadly does not block YT ads or ads on smart TV)
But we were trying to figure out an Internet connection issue last night, and I forgot we'd turned it off in the course of our testing
So then today I come across this on this website and I just. I honestly, immediately, fully think it's part of a shitpost.
....I don't know what to say. Are. Are you. Is this a real ad? Why would anyone think this would work. This is not the stupidest ad I've ever seen, but it's in the ranks. People live like this? Just assaulted by this corporate dumbassery every day? I already have to go to work, isn't that bad enough.
Gimme my Pi-hole back, this is stupid.
Got any good resources on setting up pihole? (competence level: generally high, but unfamiliar with raspberry pi)
So this won’t be a comprehensive guide because I am dumb as fuck. But if a smoothbrain like me can figure it out and have a pihole ready to go, then any one can.
My main resource I used were these guides from Tom’s Hardware and Privacy international. The offical Pi-Hole site also has a damn good guide to help you get set up from what you need to what to do.
What you need first is a Raspberry Pi with at least 512 MB of RAM, which all of them have. You can buy one from here or you can check out Raspberrypi.com for where to buy the different Pi’s.
Then you need an SD Card that is at least 2GB large to hold the OS, make sure you have all the cords and cables as well. And personally I like having my Pi in a case just so it looks nice. Whatever Pi you get make sure you check what cables it needs to work. Like the Raspberry Pi 4 I linked needs Microsoft HDMI to output video.
Once you have those basics set up and you have your pihole up and running, you can set up your blacklists. You can use the default one, but personally I like the one provided by the guys at Firebog. They have a LOT of amazing blacklists. From blocking purely ads. To ads and trackers. To even going as far as blocking Adult sites and such. There is a lot of customization you can do with your blacklists it’s amazing. Just, don’t expect it to block ads on youtube as those are hosted on the site itself.
Piholes are very set it and forget it, but make sure you are very thorough when setting one up. Because missing one step is such a headache to deal with. I also highly recommend, when it asks if you want to set up the web server, that you do. It allows you to see the traffic of what was blocked what was allowed, and update your lists and such from your web browser on your computer or phone.
Oh also, when you are setting up your pi-hole. Make sure you select to EITHER have it use Ethernet OR Wifi, NOT BOTH. That was a mistake I made. It used both, and got stuck and confused and wasn’t able to work at all. Once I deactivated the wifi and let it use only Ethernet, then it was good to go. And when you are selecting which PiHole OS you want to run, I HIGHLY recommend going with the Lite version. It’s purely Commandline OS, so it is super light and can run on anything. The GUI OS also works well but if you’re running it off of a weaker Raspberry Pi, it will be very laggy and an absolute bitch to do anything on.
So yeah, pi holes are a bit of a pain to set up, but once you are good, you are GOOD.
Good luck, and report back if you had success or need any help. My dms are open and I will do the best I can to help however I can.

nem kell többé lighttpd, egyben lesz a settings file, allowlist, https meg mindenféle
For 2025, it sure would be a terrible thing if people countered the adification and enshittification of the internet by telling corporate media to shut their Pi-holes...
Definitely avoid the link above. It would be just awful if you spent about $30 USD to make a Raspberry Pi Pi-hole and block ads at the source.
