Not sure what, apart from extra cpu cycles, pihole adds over this.

- Dahoon 6y agoPihole covers the whole network. A host file doesn't and is circumvented easily. I have all DNS traffic blocked at the router, except coming from pihole.
- rhamzeh 6y agoI used to do that, but then all of those blocked domains start appearing in the ssh auto-completion alongside those configured in ssh config, which gets annoying. I prefer dnscrypt-proxy over PiHole if you don't want a UI. NOTE: A benefit of PiHole/dnscrypt proxy on a local server like the raspberry pi is that you can use it across your devices instead of just on your laptop.
- devinegan 6y agoBig advantage for me is network wide blocking on all devices with one central location to manage lists.
