Pi-hole for Windows – Ad-blocking DNS server for Windows 10, ready to use in about 5 minutes
Ad-blocking DNS server for Windows 10 with DoH pre-configured. Easy setup, no hypervisor/docker required.
By utilizing the Windows Subsystem for Linux it is possible to run Pi-hole on a Windows 10 PC just like any other Windows app. The install script performs an automated install of Pi-hole 5.2+ on Windows 10 (version 1809 and newer) or Windows Server 2019 (including Hyper-V Core if you don’t have a Windows license) – No Virtualization, Docker, or Linux expertise required. Pi-hole can be used to block ads and encrypt DNS queries on your local Windows PC or the entire network.
This approach uses fewer resources than a hypervisor/container, and runs on older CPU’s without VT support, or on a VPS without pass-through virtualization. If you have an old Windows tablet or HDMI stick with 1GB+ RAM and it can boot Windows x64, this is a great way to up-cycle old hardware.
