    Nothing in this article describes it solving any problem that isn’t better solved by an ad blocker. In fact they even admit that you still need an ad blocker anyway. So why bother with the pi hole?

      Excellent question. You can set the Pi-hole as a default DNS provider on your router which will the set it as a DNS provider for any device connected via DHCP (which in a home network should be basically everything). This means ads will be blocked across all devices and apps instead of just your browser where you installed adblock.

      That means you can play free games on your phone and have no pop up ads.

      You can use Netflix ads tier and crave ads tier and the pi hole blocks them It’s amazing!!
