Yes; PiHoles are used for far more than just blocking smart TVs. The difference between browsing the web at my house and browsing away from home is so stark that it's almost not worth browsing most sites if I'm not behind it.
- QuarterReptile 5y agoSo true. At about one week per year spent at a relative's home, I start to consider putting a pi-hole there, too.
- kstatz12 5y agoI did what i think is the logical extreme and put a pihole on my tailscale network and use that as my dns on any device connected to that network so i have it on the go
- QuarterReptile 5y agoOoh, I will be all over that if the fiber rollout in my neighborhood ever finishes.
- vlunkr 5y agoI run a simple VPN at my house alongside pinhole. You can block ads anywhere that way.
- axjmc 5y agoI do the same. The same pi runs a wireguard server.
- jjulius 5y agoI've been strongly considering it precisely because of this, just need to get around to setting it up.
- jrnichols 5y agothat is what I am connected to right now. it's amazing how much more lightweight the internet is in general with pi-hole/etc.
- Zizizizz 5y agoYep, took me about 5 minutes to set up with tailscale https://tailscale.com/kb/1114/pi-hole/ https://tailscale.com/kb/1114/pi-hole/ (wireguard)
