I have PiHole running on our home network blocking ads, phisihing domains, etc.
I also don't use the ISP router / wifi.
I feel like those two things are good steps towards protecting my family. They give me some piece of mind at least.
- intopieces 8y agoHave you run into any issues that required tweaking of the PiHole set-up? I'm running PiHole + a hand-rolled VPN on Digital Ocean but I'm looking to put together little PiHole boxes for my family who live across the country. It needs to pretty much be perfect out of the box or they'll unplug it. I've only had to disconnect once or twice to unsubscribe from spam lists, but I doubt my family would even bother.
- jaxn 8y agoThe only thing that almost annoys me is that Google ads are blocked on the redirect, but not display. So sometimes I click them and have to go back and click the organic result. I could probably tweak it. I am running it on a old Pi B (the old one with an RCA jack). No issues. if I was sending to family across the country, I'd probably add remote access of some sort for myself.
