How to setup Pi-hole Network-wide Ad Blocker – DNS Sinkhole 2022
Pi-hole is a Linux network-level advertisement and Internet tracker blocking application that acts as a DNS sinkhole and can also be used as a DHCP server. This is a great option for home users looking to block ads without the need to install expensive firewall applications. Pi-hole is a package that can be installed on almost any Linux distro. Typically, I would do it inside a VM. You can install it on micro-computers/controllers such as Rasberry Pi. Pi-hole relies on third-party block lists so you can add an unlimited number of block lists or you can create your own block lists.

linux dns configuration
The correct term here should be: Steven Black not Steven Block. It is a list maintain by a person not affiliated with Pi-hole project. But it is the default block list used in Pi-hole (if you choose to load the default list). When it comes to updating DNS,; you do not need to change every client's DNS settings if you add the Pi-hole DNS as the primary DNS of the router for your network (LAN). Please refer to my follow-up video posted on my Channel on Pi-hole configuration options for Web UI settings options.
thanx a lot sir.
