PiHole (running local DNS service)

Today i have installed “PiHole” on a Raspberry Pi and changed my Internet Provider DNS IP address to PiHole. Within 30 minutes everything was up and running. Now all the DNS requests are locally cached and bad DNS requests (for example to Ads providers) are blocked. So now i can browser without ads. Life is beautifull again! 🙂
