[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 58943, post: 711009"] Pi-Hole is the single most important, most secure thing anyone can do for their networks. Period. Bar None. It places DNS under your control. It gives you absolutely remarkable control over egress from your network. It protects every device on your network, phones, tablets, desktops, laptops, thermostats, etc. It speeds web page loading by at least 25-50% due to the local DNS resolution caching. It takes an hour or less to study and setup a Pi-Hole. Step 1: Buy this (and add an MicroSD card to it) [URL]https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01D92SSX6[/URL] Step 2: Wait for it to arrive. Step 3: Burn a USB w/ Raspbian. [URL='https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/']Download Raspbian for Raspberry Pi[/URL] Step 4: Plug your Pi-Hole into a monitor or TV with HDMI w/Keyboard+Mouse, boot off the USB, install Raspbian. Step 5: Once Raspbian is done open terminal, type: curl -sSL [URL]https://install.pi-hole.net[/URL] | bash Step 6: Point your router to the IP Address of Pi-Hole. Point Pi-Hole to a DNS Forwarder (9.9.9.9, etc) Step 7: Go to any PC, login to Pi-Hole (IP Address\admin, aka 192.168.1.200\admin) Step 8: Add curated blacklists. [URL='https://v.firebog.net/hosts/']Mirrored Lists ¦ Firebog[/URL] Step 9: Enjoy life. That's it.. Really. Now the secret is, to use good curated blacklists.. Such as the ones at [URL='https://v.firebog.net/hosts/']Mirrored Lists ¦ Firebog[/URL] as noted above.. I block about 700,000 ad/tracker/spyware/coinminer domains. On average, 40-50% of ALL of my DNS traffic is blocked by Pi-Hole as being either malicious/ad/tracker/spy/coin.. Without a Pi-Hole the vast majority of those would hit your network. So yeah.. Everyone should spend the $60 and setup a Pi-Hole. [IMG]https://kek.gg/i/6FqLpw.png[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
