At a glance

  • Blocks ads for every device, including smart TVs
  • Web dashboard with query statistics
  • Runs on a Raspberry Pi or any Linux machine

Get started

Installcurl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash

What it is

Pi-hole acts as your network’s DNS server and refuses to resolve domains on its blocklists, so ads and trackers never load on any device.

Why it stands out

Because it works at the network level, it covers devices that cannot run an ad blocker, such as TVs and phones’ apps.

Who it is for

Homelab owners and households wanting network-wide blocking.
