Pi Hole

[Overboost]

Well, youve convinced me I need more Pi's now. I was planning on using my first one to build an ambilight for my TV.

I have 6 of em about the house, 4 of the model 2 B, an OG 256MB B, and a 512MB B. Microcenter sells em for $30.

Perhaps the dev should've called it the shine box :lol:

This is the distro I used, DietPi: http://fuzon.co.uk/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=5#p5

Pretty nifty because it installs the minimum that's needed to run the software you want and keeps out the bloat of a full Raspbian install. Easy to use, too

how has this been working for you? any issues or things that youve come across?

Still going strong. It has been up and running since I deployed it without issue.

Been using it for a couple weeks now. It's ok, been using it in conjunction with a browser ad block so not sure if it's really adding anything at this point as far as speed goes.

A lot of ads still get through, and it displays either a huge amount of blank space where the ad was or else a "page not found" error where the ad was. A lot of websites get blocked entirely depending on what server list you use too.
