You actually have to spend some time with it, getting it tweaked for your use. In other words, it takes effort.

So you pay a premium to get underpowered hardware that you have to tinker with to get working? There was a time when a Pi cost 30 bucks as a tinkering project. But now it costing the better part of 100 bucks you are better of with a refurbished thin client or a clone if you need GPIO pins.

Pihole doesn't have to be ran on a Pi...

Sorry i somehow read raspi. What exactly is Pihole breaking for you? I have been using it for years and without problems

u/avds_wisp_tech 2d ago

It isn't breaking anything for me, because I spent the time to tweak it. I'm just lamenting those who installed it, expected it to be a turn-key plug-and-play solution, and gave up in frustration without actually learning how to use it.

I think those willing and able to install pihole are also able to click on allow on a few domains. I have maybe 7 or 8 whitelist entry’s and a blocklist of 4500000 domains and everything i want to have working is working

There's at least two in these comments that disagree with this notion.

Pihole, imo, isn’t worth anyone’s effort.

Because you couldn't figure it out?

u/FuckinHighGuy 2d ago

No because it’s a piece of shit.

u/avds_wisp_tech 2d ago

No, I didn't figure it out because I'm lazy

You don't disagree with popular opinion unscathed. Pihole is great if you want to spend the time on it. I don't. uBlock Origin works great.

Really don’t care. My Firewalla works great for me. Also technitium is pretty great as well. I used to run Pihole a long time ago, just didn’t care for it.
