About
Pi-hole is a network-wide DNS sinkhole that protects all devices on your network from unwanted content without installing any client software. It blocks ads, trackers, and malicious domains at the DNS level before they can reach your devices. Features include a modern web dashboard showing query statistics, built-in DHCP server, customizable blocklists, whitelist/blacklist management, IPv4/IPv6 support, and the ability to work as your network's DHCP provider. Unlike browser-based ad blockers, Pi-hole protects every device including Smart TVs, mobile apps, and IoT devices.
