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 on your network.

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.sh does most of the magic. The script pulls in ad domains from many sources and compiles them into a single list of over 900,000 entries.
Whitelist and blacklist
You can add a whitelist.txt
or blacklist.txt
in /etc/pihole/
and the script will apply those files automatically.
How It Works
A technical and detailed description can be found here!
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.
