dazfuller, My #PiHole crashed yesterday. First time in 3 years it’s put a foot wrong! And it’s just made me even more impressed with it, this tiny little Pi Zero W handling all the houses traffic. Especially when I’ve got things like MS Teams that needs killing and reopening several times a day
ai6yr, Put the entire household on the pihole, hope I don't get too many complaints, LOL (maybe overkill for the entire household, but... worth the experiment) #pihole #cybersecurity
Greg, @ai6yr I had to undo that :( It was blocking the stupid ads that the stupid free "games" that my youngest was playing on his tablet. I hate those games. But that's a parenting difference here. So I had to disable router-wide pihole use. :(
smatheson, @ai6yr This is the way. Everything on the network is blocked by default. My stuff is grouped to also block all Meta stuff, another group allows ads for a few devices that need them. Also get a nice app (iOS here, but others or web app I’m sure) to easily poke the api to temporarily disable blocking for troubleshooting- mine offers 1min and 5min.
Papeleo, German Ich muss mal wieder Werbung für #pihole machen. 🖖
In den letzten 24 h haben die Geräte bei uns zuhause > 60000 Verbindungen ins Internet gesucht, davon wurden > 21000 (35 %) geblockt, ohne dass wir Einschränkungen hatten. Die waren also völlig nutzlos für uns, aber offenbar sehr interessant für andere da draußen.
#digitaleSelbstverteidigung ist wichtig!
Solches Wissen wünsche ich mir auch in den Schulen, liebes #FediLZ 🙂
mars1024, The ad-spam-situation on the web is terrible! 🤢
My #DNS -level filter went offline for a while, and a bunch of ads and in-page popups jump-scared me! 🤕
Also: I would like to thank services like #PiHole, #DNSForge, & #NextDNS for the great work that they do -- by blocking ads+trackers -- to keep us SANE and SAFE! 😇😇😇
ainmosni, Every time I browse the web outside of the comfort of my local #PiHole protected network, I'm amazed with how obnoxious ads are these days.
ainmosni, Sure, take up 25% of my screen real estate with one ad, while making me scroll two screenfuls worth of another one. Totally normal and sane.
pax0707, Have several #pihole ?
Need to sync them?
Say no more:
joel,
marcus, And this, my precious bubble, is why I'm running a #Pihole. (I'm a paying customer with a subscription btw, not trying to dodge away and read for free at all cost.)
Aegewsh, Polish #pihole działa od kilku dni :)
Jak do tej pory musiałem tylko jedną domenę dodać do whitelist, bo się młoda do konta na xboxie zalogować nie mogła, a pozostałe, które mi się nie otwierają, zwyczajnie zlałem :)
Już ponad 40% zapytań zablokowano :)
joergi, To the people who run a PiHole in their home network:
Any bad effects on some websites? Any apps on your Android / iOS devices not working?
Anyone got rid with Amazon prime in movie ads with it?I'm so annoyed of paying for Amazon prime and been forced to watch stupid constantly repeating advertisements. Next step canceling this shit
For those who don't know it:

retiolus, Catalan Aquest és el nou servidor on està kfem.cat, el tinc a casa, de moment a la meva habitació.
- Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2620 0 @ 2.00GHz
- 32GB DDR3
- 2TB SSD
Fa molt de soroll.
Com que tinc #PiHole instal·lat a casa i de moment el servidor l'utilitza com a DNS, podem veure la quantitat de sol·licituds que fa en comparació als altres aparells.
ilyess, @retiolus That’s a lot of requests in one day!
retiolus, Catalan He fet passar un cable per tot el pis, 30 m! Ja ho tinc tot concentrat, fora de la meva habitació, en el lloc més fresquet del pis 😊
Ara falta fer cables a mida per organitzar tot això una mica millor.
kyonshi, having run a #pihole for the last few days I think it's a bit concerning that on average 20% of our network traffic can be filtered out with no noticeable problems.
that is, 20% of DNS requests coming from our computers or phones. we don't even have a smart TV or anything. This is just normal network traffic of a bit surfing and some streaming.
lordvalor, Spanish 1 hours started the #Pihole and still working. #selfhosting
teamtuck, Trying to create custom #pihole reports via #python but for some reason, PiHole DB doesn't have hostnames, it has IP addresses, which is not helpful for what I'm looking for.
Setting up a temp #ubuntu VM so I can install Technitium and see what it's capable of.
I just want to be able to get a daily report of specific devices on my network and see what they are doing; I want to manipulate the view of the data and bend it to my will lol.

amadeus, The last few days, after almost 3 years, I finally got over myself to re-install our #network, #nas and #pihole and reworked the #backup strategy as well (#encryption and stuff). I am glad that this is finally done. 🫣
