I’ve run Pi-hole in my homelab for years and benefited from using the service. As well as the hands-on education.

With that said, what is everyone else’s experience with the software? Do you use Pi-hole in your homelab setup? I would assume many hundreds of thousands of people use Pi-hole.

Edit #1:

The image attached to this post is my RPi 5, which hosts the Pi-hole software. Big supporter of the whole “SBCs for learning and home improvement” mentality.

Edit #2:

It is interesting to see the broad support for Pi-hole and DNS blockers in general. The more options, the healthier the tech ecosystem is, which benefits everyone.

        You have never had some family member experience a broken website that they needed to work but you were not around to fix it on the server side?

          I set a separate SSID on the wifi without the pihole as the DNS provided by DHCP that they can use.

          That’s why my wife is raw dogging the internet. I excluded her devices from Pihole after i heard too much “site x is not working”. She bought from some fake shops. I didn’t, thanks to our block list.

            My 65 yo mother can disable and enable the 2 piholes on her home network when she needs to and she’s not a techie. How are people so incompetent?
