I'm using http://pi-hole.net http://pi-hole.net running on a Raspberry Pi. I use it as my home dns, it runs dnsmasq and points a list of a million ad hostnames to its own IP, answering every request with a blank HTML page.
- roel_v 11y agoHow many websites does it break? I'm a bit hesitant to set up pihole since it's rather hard to enable ads for just one domain, as more and more websites just stop working with ads removed/blocked.
- derFunk 11y agoIt's not breaking much websites I'm using regularly. The only really breaking effect I see is when clicking on forwarder links of affiliate networks, of course. Happens for bargain/deal websites mostly. And of course you shouldn't have to work with GA or Flurry or other analytics services, because they are blocked by pi-hole.net of course. But you can easily whitelist via ssh. I'm now using it since 2 months and am pretty satisfied. The traffic saving effect is also nice, which make websites load faster as well.
