My experiences using a Pi-Hole at home (Debian VM) have been very good.
Recently i upgraded to version 4.0 (https://pi-hole.net/2018/08/06/pi-hole-v4-0-released-with-ftldns-improved-blocking-modes-regex-docker-and-more/ https://pi-hole.net/2018/08/06/pi-hole-v4-0-released-with-ft...) and it seems working perfectly fine.
Great job Pi-Hole team! Thank you!
- j0hnml 8y agoIs there any reason you chose running on a VM as opposed to something like a RPi3?
- geerlingguy 8y agoMarginal speed gains (though Pi hole isn’t super resource-intensive so the speed up isn’t huge unless you’re piping through a ton of DNS traffic), and you don’t need a Pi at all :)
- crtasm 8y agoMine is on a Debian VM too, I already had a server to put it on and my RPI is busy running 4player super bomberman :-)
- BLKNSLVR 8y agoI only ever played 2-player super bomberman on the SNES, but it was once of the most fun games I've ever played. Now I've gotta make this possible for / with my kids!
- crtasm 8y agoBack in the 90s I read about this new HDTV thing they had in Japan and how they could play TEN player bomberman on it - mind blown. SNES bomberman 3 I believe actually supports five players (one on joypad port 1 and four more via multitap on port 2). Runs great on Retropie, my nephews love it.
- BLKNSLVR 8y agoI'm also running it on a VM because I had spare capacity on an existing VM host, so it was essentially a no-cost addition. Also Pi-Hole has been great. I'm reminded of how effective it is every time I load up web pages on mobile or at work, or anywhere else that doesn't filter out the large percentage of the Internet that I didn't ask to see.
