Pi Hole Ad Blocking Gateway?

[Deleted User 298457]

Hi folks. Did a quick search so apologies if this already exists.

What's the best approach to buying and configuring a pihole gateway? Thinking ad filtering at the network level. Any kits that make it simple enough?

Thanks

There's a big thread in the Linux forum: https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/setting-up-pi-hole.18756115/

The best way is with a Raspberry Pi really. It's super easy to set up, and a Pi uses a very low amount of power.

Thanks, will have a scan through. I must have forgotten the all important space/hyphen!

Been running PiHole on a Raspberry Pi for years now. A 2 or 3 is plenty fast enough for it.

Interesting. That'll keep cost down - I can get a Pi3 in a case for around 36 quid if a quick Google Shopping search is to be believed.

I'd take a look at adguard home over pihole. I found AGH had a lot more flexibility and options over pihole. Although that may have changed over the years.

Agreed. AdGuard Home + OISD.nl blocklist.

Thanks. I had a fear from reading the thread Andy linked to about it being a nightmare longer term. The opening paragraph of OISD has cured my worry!
