I was looking up how to SSH into one of my Pi's:

https://www.avoiderrors.com/connection-refused-raspberry-pi-4

Then about 10 seconds later, it tells me to turn my adblocker off. Usually, website like this actively search for any browser-based blockers such as AdBlock or uBlock. I don't use those, so the site has found something else on my computer. The thing is, I thought that the Pi-Hole was at the router level and is therefore incognito, so how does the site find my Pi? Anyone else using a Pi had this issue and found any workaround?

Thanks :-)

I try to keep add-ons to a minimum, but it seems like JavaScript is sometimes used to detect the Pi. I have installed NoScript which can turn JS on/off plus other permissions. It will need some tweaking although Overclockers, Gmail and YouTube all worked out-of-the-box. Had to enable permissions on the Pi-Hole Admin page though. So yeah see how that goes.
