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.

DNS server set to Pihole but no traffic
I've added the Ads & Tracking list and the AMP Hosts list from Developer Dan to the default list; any others you recommend I add? It's hard to tell if the ads coming through are a 'my blocklist isn't good enough' problem or a 'my pihole's not set up properly yet' problem.

Annoying A/B testing mistakes every engineer should know
Posthog is on developerdans "Ads & Tracking" blocklist[1], if you're wondering why this doesn't load.

Is it okay to use pi-hole if I don’t know what the hell I’m doing?
This is how you learn. Going forward you'll start noticing some ads and some not, based on the default adlist. I think the default adlist is good enough for starting. But you should also look into developer dan's adlist and ticked firebog adlist.
-
What filters do you people use for adguard?
Enable most of the default ones, use DNS filtering. I use Cloudflare DNS. And for some third-party filters you can load, I recommend Steven Black hosts, OISD blocklists, Developer Dan hosts and AnudeepND Blacklist.
- Benign domains randomly being blocked?
- Any recommendations for a streaming device where the home screen is not 90% ads?
-
Using pi-hole to reduce my grandparents vulnerability to scams?
Did you bother looking at the sticky issue that says the lists are in maintenance mode? I’m trying un-inspire confidence https://github.com/lightswitch05/hosts/issues/356
- TikTok Tracks You Across the Web, Even If You Don’t Use App
- Pi-hole FTL v5.18, Web v5.15 and Core v5.12.1 released

Use more than just the OSID list?

The Blocklist Project - These lists were created because the founder of the project wanted something with a little more control over what is being blocked. Many lists out there are all or nothing. We set out to create lists with more control over what is being blocked and believe that we have accomplished that.
