I want to block ads and trackers on the whole home network. I’ve been using adblockers and trackers for years now; I currently have a Raspberry Pi. I was thinking of setting up Pi-Hole with AdGuard. Any other suggestions are welcome. (I can’t use a custom router, because my ISP doesn’t allow it)
That really doesn’t sound that easy…
Pihole has its issues, ~~but at least you dont need to setup each and every device individually. ~~ edit: I have been informed that this is not the only way.
For balance, the main issue I have with pihole is that family members can’t easily bypass it when they need to, which is inconvenient.
Dont you need to set the dns adress to the pi-hole dns on every device? It was a few years ago but I remember that I had to set my dns to the pi-hole, which acted as a dns server. Or am I mistaken?
You can setup DHCP to give the DNS address to every device automatically. Even heavily locked down routers sometimes have the option, but I guess OP will have to try that out.
Pihole also has a built in DHCP, which you can enable and use as long as you disable the router one.
