Simple installation steps to get pi-hole up and running!
Pi-hole® Network-wide Ad Blocking
Download Raspbian:
Get from official raspberry pi site
https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/
Write Raspbian image to USB:
I use Win32DiskImager
https://raspberry-projects.com/pi/pi-operating-systems/win32diskimager
Install Pi-Hole on pi:
curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | Bash
- Use default settings for all
- may want to set static ip for pi before this
After installing, go to pi ip address to see web management portal running.
For example, i would navigate to 192.168.0.169, as this is what I set my pi’s static ip to.
Change default DNS server to pi ip_address
- Navigate to Network adapter settings properties
- Change IPv4 DNS server addresses:
192.168.0.169 (pi ip_address)
8.8.8.8 (google DNS)
Make sure Pi-hole is running
Navigate back to pi_ip_address to see adds blocked
Run speed test if you’d like, but pi-hole doesn’t change data speeds.
