About

You can run Pi-hole in a container, or deploy it directly to a supported operating system via our automated installer. Our intelligent, automated installer asks you a few questions and then sets everything up for you. Once complete, move on to step 3. Configure your router’s DHCP options to force clients to use Pi-hole as their DNS server, or manually configure each device​ to use the Pi-hole as their DNS server. By pairing your Pi-hole with a VPN, you can have ad-blocking on your cellular devices, helping with limited bandwidth data plans. Instead of browser plugins or other software on each computer, install Pi-hole in one place and your entire network is protected. Network-level blocking allows you to block ads in non-traditional places such as mobile apps and smart TVs, regardless of hardware or OS. Since advertisements are blocked before they are downloaded, network performance is improved and will feel faster.
