  • Pi-hole

    A black hole for Internet advertisements

  • Here's the pihole website, it has a lot of setup information. I feel like you can find a lot of blocklists in r/PiHole too. Do it one at a time and check sites you use a lot as you go lol it's a lot easier than finding the blocklist that broke the site you use. For example I don't use Facebook so I have everything blocked in it, the thing is others in my household do, they have the normal DNS because I'm not going through that shit to unblock Facebook.
