Wondering who else here is using PiHole to bock crap on their local networks. I capture unwanted traffic from almost every device on my network and am blocking just under 20% of all DNS requests on my home network.

I am currently running DietPi (dietpi.com) on a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B (raspberrypi.org) and have my routers DNS pointed at the Raspberry Pi so that all most devices on my network will automatically uses this to resolve DNS queries.

I've also picked out some pretty aggressive block lists that I've had to whitelist some stuff so that I don't break the internet.

Here (pic8.co) is my top blocked domains. Would hate to know what information things are attempting to send back.

I did but it interferes with hosting certain things

I'd guess when calling elements outside your local network I could see that.

I would just manually modify the DNS on the hosting machine to OpenDNS was going to suggest that but they got bought by Cisco apparent so you'd have to find something less spy like.

I might revisit it if I ever get time

Time? What the hell is that?
