For a while now, I have wanted to use Pi-hole with my router, but I've either been busy with <a href="/posts/gentoo">Gentoo</a> or school. However, I have finally found the time and inspiration to install Pi-hole on my home server!</p> +<hr> +<h2>What is Pi-hole ?</h2> +<img class="right-image" width="250" src="/images/logos/pihole.png"> +<a href="https://pi-hole.net/">Pi-hole</a> is a DNS sinkhole that can be used with your router to protect your other devices without installing any client-side software. For the most part, Pi-hole is used for only blocking ads, but there is more you can do with it, for example, logging internet activity and blocking websites. +<h3>benefits of using Pi-Hole</h3> +<ul> +<li>Network wide adblocker</li> +<li>Saves bandwith due to adblocker</li> +<li>Adblocker on all mobile apps</li> +<li>Free of cost</li> +<li>Can function as a DHCP server</li> +<li>Easy-to-install</li> +</ul> +<hr> +<h2>Installing</h2> +<p>Since I'm using Arch Linux as my server OS, the only real option I had was to use the <a href="https://github.com/pi-hole/docker-pi-hole">Docker</a> container. It was relatively easy to install, though I did encounter some issues, mostly due to me not reading what to do. Overall, I'd say it was easy to set up and configure for all my devices to use.</p> +<h2>Blocklist</h2> +<p>I have a number of websites blocked to avoid visiting suspicious sites or being tracked. The best source for blocklists from what I can tell is <a href="https://firebog.net/">Firebog</a>. I recommend using only the lists marked in green, as those coloured blue are either no longer maintained or may interfere with your normal day to day web browsing. Additionally I would just add the top three lists from each category to cover a good enought basis.</p> +<hr> +<h2>Conclusion</h2> +<p>I really do like Pi-hole and I see myself using it for the forseeable future as it just does a whole bunch of intresting bits that help me be more secure online.</p> + + </div> + </article> + + + + + <footer class="post-footer"> + <!-- 🌟 Back button --> + <a href="/" class="back-button">⬅ Back to Home</a> + + + <p class="post-tags"> + + <a href="/tags/linux/" + aria-label="View posts tagged linux"> + linux + </a> + + <a href="/tags/tech/" + aria-label="View posts tagged tech"> + tech + </a> + + </p> + + </footer> + + </body> +</html> |
