Does PiHole block porn?
Sure, use those blocklists from https://firebog.net/
-
Where do you all get your DNS block lists from? Is there a public forum that has a list of them?
I am currently aware of firebog.net, but don't know if there are any other public forums/collections that are dedicated to this. I was hoping to contribute my personally made DNS block list for the public to use, if desired.

Pi-Hole vs Adguard Home.
I run Raspian on 2 PiHoles for myself and administer for friends (each running 2 PiHoles) on Libre Le Potatos (2Gb). The effectiveness you get will be from the block lists you choose. I chose which lists to use from Firebog. I also suggest running 2 PiHoles, because if DNS goes down your not gonna internet anything! My personal experience also shows it's not always quick and easy to recognize your DNS is not working, I find it's easier to update each when I want.

I thought PiHole was supposed to be invisible to websites?
Admittedly I am brand new to PiHole. I bought a raspberry pi, imaged the flash drive, ran the PiHole instal script and set some additional block lists from this list https://firebog.net/, set my DHCP server to give out PiHole as my address and haven’t thought much else about it.

How many is too many?
I've loaded up several lists from firebog.net, and I noticed at least two with 500k+ entries. I've not noticed any issues and load on my pihole VM on TrueNAS allocated with a single core and 1GB of ram from an N6005, I'm still wondering if this could cause me issues in the future.

UDM SE br0 not using Pihole
Have you added much to your adlists in PiHole? A great resource for adlists is https://firebog.net/
- Blocking percentage is relatively low. Is it same for everyone or am i missing something?

Securing your network
That list is a start, but it's nowhere near comprehensive enough for a device touting security as it's main asset and not even comparable to this: https://firebog.net/. That list is just one of many curated and fairly comprehensive lists of lists for PiHole blocking.. Furthermore the block lists are even the same format as the list you posted. All deeper needs to do is provide users with unlimited blocking entries and a way to import and maintain the lists.

DNS server set to Pihole but no traffic
For lists, I would recommend going through the Firebog and choosing a few green lists from each category, then seeing how everything feels for a week or two. Generally once you have a few solid lists, you’re better off finding the domains of ads that are still showing up and blocking them individually. After a certain point, adding more lists just unnecessarily increases the size of your gravity database and is more likely to cause false positives, leading to issues on certain sites. I’ve got 14 lists set up, mostly from Firebog, and that seems to be a good balance for my household’s purposes.

Show HN: YouTube banned adblockers so I built an extension to skip their ads
I use the Hosts file to block a ton of ads and that works really well. https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts Something worth considering if your ad blocker isn't working well.

Big things are happening with RaspAP's Ad Blocking 🛑 Users will soon have more blocklist sources to choose from
The no-tracking project used by RaspAP is shutting down, so we took the opportunity to search for open source blocklist alternatives. Among the best is Steven Black's hosts list: https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts

Browser extensions spy on you, even if its developers don't
You can also use a declarative adblocker like uBlock Origin Lite [1], which only provides the browser with a list of elements to filter, but doesn't have any permissions to read content or perform requests. Or simply use your hosts file to apply OS-wide filtering with no browser add-ons needed: https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts
Be aware that if you use these "passive" blocking methods, there are some sites like YouTube where you will see ads, because in these cases it's necessary to actually manipulate page content to hide them. What you can do is use a traditional adblocker but enable it only for these few sites where the declarative approach is not enough, take a look at [2] for more details.

I installed Firefox + uBlock Origin like everyone suggested in my previous post, but this pop-up still appears, now with a 5 sec timer.

[Paid Release]CCAdsBeGone - Customized Ads Blocking At Your Fingertips
When I select my custom hosts file, it basically breaks internet. However, if I choose a custom hosts file that is a copy of the dev's default, or if I just add a few lines to it, it will work. If I add too many lines, or use a different hosts file altogether (like the ones recommended by the dev), all connectivity breaks. Of course the latest official LetMeBlock is installed and mDNSResponder killed/restarted. I'm using Dopamine on A12+.
