I setup a rpi+pihole a month ago after reading an HN post, and I was amazed at how much faster most browsing was (especially on phones).
I've only had a couple of things that didn't work because of the pihole, and honestly I found it faster to just make a phone be a 4g hotspot, connect my computer to that hotspot, get past the "hump", then switch back to my home network. It's not ideal, but it doesn't happen often.
- rbritton 8y agoI’ve had a similar experience, but it’s been around a year for me. I very rarely have to whitelist anything anymore. Beyond the obvious, one use I’ve had for it is when traveling in an RV and using a bandwidth-limited connection. Not eating up quota with all of the ad assets is very nice.
- jachee 8y agoPro-tip for an easier work-around the next time you hit a "hump": http://pi.hole/admin/ http://pi.hole/admin/ and use the "Disable for 30 seconds" option. :)
