I ordered a Raspberry Pi 5 so I have a Pi 3 that’s about to be redundant. I haven’t used Pi-Hole so I was thinking it’d be good for that but I’m curious if there’s any downsides for users. Are sites blocked if you dont whitelist them? That sort of thing.
Basically, I’m not worried about me having issues but I’m worried about a maintenance headache if friends and family can’t access things.
My gf likes to click on ad entries of Google searches - that doesn’t work
If you are able to (and allowed), install an AdBlocker (e.g. uBlock Origin) to reduce the friction for such cases. In my experience these ads are rarely click-worthy.
That’s a feature, not a bug.
I know and I tell her that, too - it’s just something to consider when calculating the wife approval factor
Well, tell her that these ads can and often do contain malware, and as of recent have become even better at faking the real URL of a supposed service.
