Pi-hole Description

Pi-hole can be installed in a container or directly to an operating system supported by our automated installer. The intelligent, automated installer will ask you some questions and then set everything up for you. Step 3. Once you are done, continue to step 3. To force clients to use Pihole as their DNS servers, configure your router's DHCP settings. Or manually configure each device so that it uses Pi-hole. You can enable ad blocking on your cellular devices by pairing your Pihole with a VPN. This will help with data plans with limited bandwidth. Instead of installing browser plugins on every computer, you can install Pi-hole one-to-all and protect your entire network. Network-level blocking allows for you to block ads in nontraditional places like mobile apps and smart TVs. This is regardless of OS or hardware. Network performance will be faster since advertisements are blocked before they can be downloaded.
