- aurbano 7y agoDamn, that's amazing.. can't believe 76% of requests are unnecessary. Assuming you're running this on a RPi at home, do you have DynDNS or how are you managing the external IP?
- bjoli 7y agoI have similar numbers. 90% of the blocked requests I see come from 3 apps that are particularly diligent about submitting metrics. 2 phones have outlook installed and boy does outlook hate when metrics fails! Those phones alone account for half of the DNS requests in a network with about 15 devices, despite being out of the house for 9 hours every day.
- pimeys 7y agoI have this running on a Hetzner server and connecting my phone to it with Wireguard. At home I have another pihole running in my router.
- MikusR 7y agoWithout list of sites it blocks those numbers are useless. I could setup to block only news.ycombinator.com and the result would be similar
