Pi-hole® is a DNS sinkhole that protects your device from unwanted content without installing any client software.
After running the installer, you will need to configure your router so that the DHCP client uses Pi-hole as the DNS server. This router configuration will ensure that all devices connected to your network will have their content blocked without further intervention.
If your router does not support setting up a DNS server, you can use the Pi-hole’s built-in DHCP server; be sure to disable DHCP on your router first (if it has this feature).
Finally, you can manually set up each device to use the Pi-hole as a DNS server.
Using Pi-hole requires a basic understanding of how to navigate and interact with the command line.
