As a pihole user for years I recently bought a firewalla blue. Installed pihole on the firewalla, turned off firewalla ad blocking, and done.
I can VPN to my home ad blocking network from anywhere, have more insights into my home network shenanigans, and still use my personal block list built over years. Super easy and most importantly, done.
- newscracker 7y agoDid you research if the Pi could be setup with additional software (apart from pi-hole) to handle all that (or most of what) the Firewalla provides? Seems like that’d be a lot cheaper if one doesn’t need very high network performance.
- pbhjpbhj 7y agoI'm not sure I get it? Why not run OpenVPN on your pihole's RPi, forward the port on your router, bingo-bango-bongo?? What extra are you getting with the firewalla? Is it 'just' ease of administration (which is probably worth the price!)?
