jacobsalmela 01ac3c1dd3 Ditching the use of the loopback
Pushing files so they are available when the new article gets posted.

If the Pi's loopback is set in the hosts file, clients using it as a
DNS server will try to connect to their own loopback, which does not
have a Web server.  So the real IP of the Pi is used.  It is
recommended to use a static IP since this will be acting as a server.

Made one small change from some hard coded values to a variable.

Raspberry Pi Ad Blocker

A black hole for ads, hence Pi-hole

Pi-hole

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

Featured on MakeUseOf and Lifehacker!

Automated Install

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 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.

Whitelist and blacklist

You can add a whitelist or blacklist 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.
