It works at the DNS level, i.e. DNS requests to ad network domains are blocked. It is not able to block first party tracking requests like ad blocking browser extensions can.
- majewsky 9y agoAs a general rule of thumb, I consider DNS-level blocking like pi-hole a defense-in-depth strategy only. It's great for situations where you cannot install a regular blocker plugin (e.g. IoT, or webpages inside applications instead of in a browser), but if you can, you absolutely want to use a dedicated tracking blocker in addition to pi-hole.
