Hello all just wondered if anyones has tried NoTrack on there Pi "NoTrack is a network-wide DNS server which blocks Tracking websites from creating cookies or sending tracking pixels"
been using Pi-Hole for the last few weeks which works well but may swap

I think I prefer pi-hole... but, interested to hear why this may be better?

Surely they should just make a Blocklist that incorporates into Pi-Hole.

That's what I think would be the optimum solution?

I actually found a block list online that can be imported into pihole. I put the list on my pi and ran the import command and it ran successfully...and ran...and ran... Two days later it was still running so I stopped it. A lot of the list was successfully imported and seemed to be working fine. Problem was that I wasn't prepared to wait the 8 days that I calculated it would take to finish.

I've now got pihole running in a VM on my server so will try again now that it's got a bit more grunt.
