Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

I just discovered this and it works fantastically on any old / unused android device you might have lying around, I was shocked at how easy it was, all the instructions are there, once you have it running all you need to do is set your router DNS settings to your pihole IP address and presto! Ads and trackers are gone!
I run pihole on a Raspberry Pi Zero with an Ethernet adapter. Runs great, runs off USB power of my router, no risk of battery explosion. Recommend that over a phone any day
I tried to set up something similar but it doesn't block a damn thing and I can't find whatever router setting I'm missing for the life of me....
You need to change the DNS settings in your router to the IP of the Pi-Hole if you want it to affect all devices on your network. If that doesn't work, you'll need to change the DNS on each of your devices instead.
Yeah, when I change the dns on the router, I lose Internet completely. I am unwilling to change it on literally every device because that's a huge pain in the ass.
Sounds like your Pi-Hole isn't set up properly then... Your Pi-Hole itself needs internet connection.
yeah, I'm not sure what part of the instructions I missed, though I'm not terribly knowledgeable when it comes to network setup.
Amazing! I have an old ZeroW thats been sitting around. Any issues? Latency?
Nope can't say I've ever noticed any issues with it. I've had it for a long time now. Kind of forgot they aren't really new anymore lol. Maybe 7-8 years running? I update it every 6 months or whenever I remember and it still works great.
