How to Set Up a Pi-Hole System on a Raspberry Pi - Block Ads and More!

[@virtualmike13]

I’ve watched at least 6 other KZbin videos on getting a pi hole up and running and your explanation is by far the most detailed and clearest of the bunch. Great job, I’ve subscribed!

[@Core-Electronics]

Glad it helped

[@TopoVizio]

fucking seriously. Thank you!!!!

[@static75]

Could not agree more with this comment! Your video is easy to understand, clear, and straight to the point. Well done sir!

[@Gamerguy2059]

[@nickr2436]

Yep same here. I’ve had issues with other videos and this is the clearest there is

[@NatePerdomo]

I've read the pi-hole docs a couple of times, but this is the first time I've felt like it's something I could not only set up but maintain long-term. 10/10 tutorial.

[@xmetal280]

A PiHole was one of the best additions I made to my home tech arsenal. The browsing experience is so different once you remove all the garbage. I also learned that my smart TVs make THOUSANDS of requests a day, trying to send or get data from their respective motherships. Sorry TVs, no way, you are there to display the picture from my consoles or Apple TVs, and nothing more.

[@Core-Electronics]

When we first set up the Pi-Hole it was amazing to check the logs after the first night. There was thousands of requests being blocked between 1am and 4am from all our devices phoning home. Was happy to put a stop to that.

[@DisgruntledPigumon]

Smart TVs are only smart so they can get your info.

[@Bond2025]

Your TV is making thousands of requests as it is programmed to make contact and get ready for further commands or services you use. If it can't connect, it keeps trying and just clogs up your network. The Alexa and Fire devices do the same. Battery life will reduce quite a bit, even on phones, if a lot of domains are blocked. Even a simple connectivity check is being blocked for Windows and Android. People have now resorted to Allow Lists to correct all the problems made by people creating lists. The main reason is BlockLists put together by people that haven't a clue what they are doing, they just get everything a phone or TV connects to and block it, leaving users with errors, loss of functionality and a rubbish user experience. I used the popular ones and they blocked cloud services, which broke most of the Internet. That's because in their race to get to the "mine is the biggest list", they never checked them or did any research. Look how many boast about having a million sites in a blocklist, all of them have very little experience and spend most of their time clicking on ALLOW. The fewer the better, the default lists work perfectly well from PiHole and AdGuardHome.

[@hghlndr2]

You can do much of the same by turning off Javascript or running a JS-less browser. There are like 0.1% of ads that are served by PHP, but they're extremely rare.

Nicely done! very well explained, especially for folks that don't have the techno knowhow but would like a simple solution for blocking ads. The only difference with my setup is I've installed it using Raspberry Pi without the GUI, just makes it a bit lighter. I then SSH onto the Pi and run the commands required to setup the Pi along with Pi-hole. I currently have my Pi-hole running along side my pfSense firewall as the current offerings available on pfSense only offer pfBlocker which is somewhat broken. Again, nice job on your explanation of installing Pi-hole.

Thanks for your kind words and explaining your set up 😊 find it proper interesting

[@Xersize]

I really like your videos and thank you for making them. As someone who is actively trying to learn more about Raspberry Pi and Linux in general, this is incredibly helpful. I just want to add one small bit of constructive criticism; I notice that when editing the audio for your videos, you're using some sort of de-noiser to clean up the audio but you have it turned up way too much. Either that or you have a compressor that's way too aggressive. It's cutting out parts at the end and beginning of sentences where you speak with a little lower volume that really shouldn't be cut out. That being said, the videos are informative and amazing and I appreciate you making them. Have a wonderful day!

[@Stayfly81]

Thank you for a great detailed video on pihole. I didn't know about adding more blocked domains on the pihole using firebog until I watched your video.

[@Core-Electronics]

Glad it was helpful!

[@One_Guy]

These work great for non Dns over Https devices. Doh for short. Most apps use doh these days and no longer works. Pihole is great but is no silver bullet for adblocking and network control. This is a great layer to add though and highly recommend it as a relatively simple addition

[@Core-Electronics]

Thanks for the info. Pi-Hole definitely isn't the end of the line in the quest to get rid of ads but it's a great starting point.

[@Bandicoot803]

Great tutorial and excellent demonstration. Your guidance absolutely looks comfortable for beginners aswell. Pro tip: It is advised to have at least two identical units with their own IP on one's network in case one unit stops working. Otherwise you're cut off the outside world. Most routers accept multiple DNS servers in their DHCP bulletin they hand out to clients. I always have two up and running as redundancy, it helped me twice due to one having a seized power supply.

[@Core-Electronics]

Cheers for you kind words and excellent advice! 😊

[@Bandicoot803]

[@Bandicoot803]

@@yoqino If the Google DNS itself is down, yes. That's why the makers of Pi-Hole added a bunch of other DNS options to choose from. You can even set your own ( well-known ) DNS provider in order to fine-tune and personalize your PiHole suiting your needs.

[@Bond2025]

Not correct. If you are just referring to PiHole stopping working I will agree as it's not very reliable and does fall over and stop working regularly if it's not eating SD cards by constantly writing to them. I have used AdGuardHome for 2 years on ONE Pi3, then a Pi4 and never had a problem, plus it does DoH/DoT as standard and can be updated by the click of the mouse in the main page which takes seconds, it has never failed as the program is far better and more professional. If you want fallback for PiHole errors/failure, set the secondary DNS on your router to NextDNS for example. You're all using the PiHole wrong anyway as people that copy each others set up videos fail to understand the basics. Simply sending all DNS requests in plain text on PiHole does nothing for privacy, your ISP still inspects traffic and sells your data. Using it for adblocking doesn't work that well as things have moved on, the same for tracking and phone Apps mostly bypass the DNS. You need to set PiHole as a recursive DNS server - there are some videos about how, also why this protects your privacy. The Internet has moved on and PiHole is still stuck in the past, it has taken so long to accept it has many problems and fix it, it will never catch up. Why pay more and go to all that trouble of setting up new equipment as a firefighting technique because people writing PiHole keep making mistakes, or not fixing errors? They seem to take error reports as a personal attack. I've never once had AGH fail on a Pi and it gets used constantly. PiHole had to be reinstalled every few months and I went through a number of SD cards due to the poor programming causing it to destroy them. I even used a workaround to stop the Pi writing constantly, but that only lasted a few months. The SD cards were all known brands from official sources, so not cheap fakes!

[@graysonsmith7031]

One thing that would be nice to mention is that some routers (like AT&T) don't allow assigning custom DNSs. So I have to manually assign it everytime.

[@graysonsmith7031]

@@johnlocke3481 no, I just found out myself after I tried to set my router DNS to the pihole and did some Google searches finding people complaining about not being able to do it.

[@TheCrazyCanuck420]

​@@graysonsmith7031You mean you tried to setup the pihole address as your DHCP DNS right? If you hardcoded your router DNS to the pihole directly that would probably would be problematic. If the ISP modem is your router I would ask your ISP if their modem can be set to bridge mode (dumb repeater) so that you can put a decent router in between that allows you to set the DNS properly for DHCP clients. One thing I have seen from an old wireless ASUS router was even though the pihole was set as the DNS for DHCP clients, any time the pihole was down DNS requests would still work because the router was setting itself as the secondary DNS. Once you have a primary and secondary DNS you might find the queries are split between the primary and secondary (negating the pihole at times).

[@daviderapisarda3833]

Great video. Clear and simple. Just one question: I did the procedure on a CLI OS for performance. How can I tell the raspberry to load automatically pi-hole on startup? You know, in case the current goes off or I unplug it

[@Core-Electronics]

Pi-Hole is configured to start automatically when the host device boots up. If it's on a Pi, and the Pi is off, just remove the power cable then plug it in again. That will boot the device and Pi-Hole will start. So I reckon you are sorted. If not hit up this guide here to learn all about starting programs on boot with Raspberry Pis - www.tomshardware.com/how-to/run-script-at-boot-raspberry-pi
