Description

You have the option to either run Pi-hole inside a container or directly install it on a supported operating system using our automated installer. This smart installer simplifies the process by asking you a series of questions before setting everything up for you automatically. After completing the installation, the next step is to configure your router’s DHCP settings to ensure that all clients utilize Pi-hole as their DNS server, or you can opt to manually set each device to connect to Pi-hole. To enhance your experience, consider pairing Pi-hole with a VPN, which allows for ad-blocking on mobile devices, thus conserving precious bandwidth on limited data plans. By centralizing ad-blocking with Pi-hole rather than relying on browser extensions or separate software installations for each computer, your entire network benefits from enhanced protection. This network-level blocking enables you to eliminate advertisements from various sources, including mobile applications and smart televisions, independent of the hardware or operating system in use. Since ads are blocked before they have the opportunity to download, you'll notice an improvement in network performance, resulting in a quicker and more efficient online experience. Moreover, this streamlined approach to ad-blocking can significantly reduce distractions and enhance user satisfaction across all devices connected to your network.

Description

Quad9 offers a complimentary service that substitutes your standard ISP or enterprise Domain Name Server (DNS) settings. Whenever your device engages in any online activity that relies on DNS—an occurrence that is quite common—Quad9 effectively obstructs access to harmful domain names by utilizing a constantly updated database of threats. This proactive blocking shields your computers, mobile devices, or IoT systems from various dangers such as malware, phishing attempts, spyware, and botnets, while also enhancing performance and ensuring your privacy. The Quad9 DNS service is managed by the Quad9 Foundation, which is based in Switzerland and is dedicated to fostering a safer and more resilient Internet for all users. Furthermore, when utilizing Quad9, your IP address is never recorded in any of their systems, ensuring an additional layer of privacy protection. This commitment to user safety and anonymity makes Quad9 an appealing choice for individuals and organizations alike.
