# Raspberry Pi Ad Blocker
**A black hole for ads, hence Pi-hole**

The Pi-hole is a DNS/Web server that will **block ads for any device**.

## Coverage
Featured on [MakeUseOf](http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/adblock-everywhere-raspberry-pi-hole-way/) and [Lifehacker](http://lifehacker.com/turn-a-raspberry-pi-into-an-ad-blocker-with-a-single-co-1686093533)!
## Automated Install
### Make sure to set a **static** IP address before running this!!
On a clean installation of Raspbian, you can run this command to **auto-install the Pi-hole**. Once installed, configure any device to use the Raspberry Pi as your DNS server and the ads will be blocked.
```curl -s "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jacobsalmela/pi-hole/master/automated%20install/basic-install.sh" | bash```
## Gravity
The [gravity-adv.sh](https://github.com/jacobsalmela/pi-hole/blob/master/gravity-adv.sh) does most of the magic. The script pulls in ad domains from many sources and compiles them into a single list of [over 120,000 entries](http://jacobsalmela.com/blocking-ads-from-120000-domains/).

### How It Works
A technical and detailed description can be found [here](http://jacobsalmela.com/block-millions-ads-network-wide-with-a-raspberry-pi-hole-2-0)!
## Whitelist and blacklist
You can add a whitelist or blacklist in ```/etc/pihole/``` and the script will apply those files automatically.
You can add a `whitelist.txt` or `blacklist.txt` in `/etc/pihole/` and the script will apply those files automatically.
## Other Operating Systems
This script will work for other UNIX-like systems with some slight **modifications**. As long as you can install dnsmasq and a Webserver, it should work OK. The automated install only works for a clean install of Raspiban right now since that is how the project originated.
## Optimizations
I am working on some great optimizations to allow the script to run much faster. I also have a bunch of new sources for ad domains but I still need to see if the lists are OK.
