This one is BY FAR, the best, user friendly, easiest to follow guide for PiHole I have EVER found on UA-cam. Everything else requires interacting with the Raspberry Pi in some physical way that isn't plug and play (so keyboard/mouse attached, maybe a screen so you'd need a mini-HDMI cable...) I'm absolutely ok with doing that, but WHY would someone not tech savvy want to? This should be the way
Thank you, Jacob. I tried to understand other UA-cam videos on setting up a Pihole server but yours was extremely easy to follow. Now I am on the hunt for ads:)
Just a note, some browsers like Firefox do DNS over HTTPS and that'll make it bypass the pihole. That'll have to be disabled, or there'll be more things to set up.
@@kloroformd For some reason I'm still seeing ads on the speedtest website. I disabled DNS over HTTPS but I'm still getting ads. It's only on my firefox browser
A bit overkill of resources for pihole. I would advise at least adding PADD and especially unbound but even then my pi4, doesn't use 10% of CPU for my entire home network.
Pi 5? It's total overkill. It's too big a device for such low-spec software. $140 for a Pi5 complete kit vs $40 for a Pi Zero 2w with a micro USB to ethernet adapter (no important network infrastructure device over Wi-Fi). Voila! Pi zero 2 was a Pi-Hole server. after 6 months never over 7% RAM use or never even 10% CPU, not even when updates and I have plenty of imported list on Gravity. Better use the money to have 2 Pi Zero2w to have 2 DNS servers, remember if the sdcard crash you will have no internet until put the pihole back to work or go back to ads by change your router to DSN again until fix the problem, $80 2 Pi Zero2w kits and will have add block on HA.

Just bought a Raspberry Pi4 yesterday and im excited to try this out
Nvm about to be hit by a hurricane
A man can dream though 🙏
@@AndysBackpack Did you survive?
@@BlaqAdam yea just lost internet
micro center states goated

thanks for this. this stymied me for a minute.
Been running pihole for months without knowing this lol. Just turned it off and curious to see what changes. So far I haven't noticed much.
@@Rushil69420 if you're running an ad blocker in the browser it won't do much.

So setting up pi hole is useless then?
this is a good explanation but it is still a glorious PITA
awesome vid thanks micro center
awesome video! thanks for posting
You could also set up Pi-hole as a recursive DNS server solution with Unbound
Does this block ads from streaming services like hulu etc?
You ever figure it out?
install brave on you Pi too
For those using Community Fibre in the UK the DNS servers are... router...connectivity...local network
So what does that mean?
Thanks!
Can't SSH into my raspberry pi :/
I want a microcenter in mebraska
Pi hole works but doesnt see any of my other devices.

What happens if I assign an IP address on the pi that is out of the hand of IP addresses to hand out?
make scope higher. 254 devices on a typical routers dhcp. Change How you do networking etc. Or just make router use pihole as its dns default etc.
How would one block UA-cam altogether? I hear one has do some fancy regex?
How can I block ads on my ps5 only via ethernet?

Damn YT ads are the ones I really want to block 🙃
