pihole

Pi-hole is a powerful command line tool that acts as a network-wide ad blocker and DNS sinkhole. It runs on a Linux-based system and can be accessed via a command line interface. The tool essentially functions as a DNS server that filters out ads, trackers, and other unwanted content before they reach any device on the network. By blocking such content at the DNS level, Pi-hole improves network performance and enhances privacy. It can be easily installed and configured, and it offers a web interface for monitoring and managing the tool. Pi-hole also provides various customization options and supports several blocklist providers, allowing users to tailor their ad-blocking preferences.
