Date: December 16th, 2025 5:17 PM Author: Comical confused locus depressive As stated in the other thread, I can use my pi hole etc from hotel rooms, i.e., no ads anywhere and faster browsing in general. Also, I can get around just about all corporate restrictions
Another feature is that I have a network file server running sonarr and radarr-- i just connect my laptop to the TV via hdmi and let it do what it do. |

Date: December 16th, 2025 6:18 PM Author: Stimulating sweet tailpipe If a device requests content from a blacklisted domain, like any ad server, the pihole LIES and tells the device the server is down. It won't block YouTube ads because those are pulled straight off Google, but it blocks enough other shit that I can immediately tell when I'm not using it. News sites are much easier to read because 80% of the ads aren't there. Having a DNS server can theoretically help you access sites that are under DDOS attacks (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5811055&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310752",#49515016) |
