Pi-Hole is a self-hosted, network-wide, ad-blocking system that runs on a Raspberry Pi Single Board Computer. A completed system will filter all your internet requests meticulously and only display what you want to see.

This can also pre-emptively prevent (hidden from you) Crypto-Coin mining from occurring on your network. This will protect your entire local network and data. You can even set up parental controls to censor adult content. Pi-Hole also auto-caches so the response time of your internet browser can be significantly faster if it has already cached the desired webpage information to your system. Pi-Hole will create and operate as a Domain Name System (DNS) pathway for your internet system. With a completed system your Raspberry Pi Single Board Computer will take all the internet data coming in, filter it meticulously, and only display what you actually want to see. If particular data is blacklisted your Router/Modem won’t even be able to download/cache/pull it from the internet. This saves bandwidth. You set this up once and any internet-connected device (Phone, iPad, Smart TV, Computer, or IoT Toaster) will have its internet requests pass through the Pi-Hole system and filtered. This system is more efficient and better than downloading Ad Blocking Browser Add-Ons on each of your devices. For clarity, there are three main ways to set up a Pi-Hole System. First is the easiest and the method I demonstrate in this video, using standalone hardware like the Raspberry Pi Single Board Computer. Another option is running Pi-Hole as part of a virtual machine. The other option is to run Pi-Hole containerised with Docker or Kubernetes. The latter methods are more technical and make it possible to efficiently multi-task with hardware. The Pi-Hole project is a great platform to jump into these bigger concepts but I will provide the most direct way to get Pi-Hole running on standalone hardware.
