How good is this in reality? It’s something I’ve been meaning to do for a long time but I wonder if it’s worth the effort?
My ad blocker already gets rid of ads on web pages so the only thing I’d really want this for is ads on YouTube. Can it get rid of those? I recently saw some stories about YouTube potentially banning users who were blocking ads. Do I run this risk?
What about ads inside apps, can it get rid of those? For example, mobile games.
I currently use a VPN, would pi-hole affect this and if so, how?
I’ve been looking in to this a bit more. I was interested in what you said about PIA so I had a look at my current VPN’s options (airvpn). Turns out they also have ad blocking options that I do remember configuring one time but then completely forgot about them.
I think I’m still going to try the pi-hole option though as my problem is with my Apple TV. I can’t install a vpn app on that. Looking at the link that op posted it’s possible to use the pi-hole on a per device basis by changing the DNS setting on the device rather than on the router, so I’ll continue using my VPN on my computer and mobile devices and just route the Apple TV through a pi-hole
