Happy #FOSSFriday! Today, we're going to talk about another piece of software that I've used for a few years. Pi-hole.

Pi-hole is a free and open-source DNS sinkhole that helps to block ads and trackers on your network. It works by intercepting DNS requests from your devices and redirecting them to a local server that has been configured to block ads. This can significantly improve the performance and privacy of your network.

Pi-hole is a software application that can be installed on a Raspberry Pi or other compatible device. You can even install it via certain "node" OS platforms like Umbrel. It is very easy to set up and use, and there are many tutorials available online.

To use Pi-hole, you will need to configure your devices to use it as their DNS server. This can be done on most devices by going to the network settings and changing the DNS server to the IP address of your Pi-hole device or by simply configuring your router's LAN's DHCP settings to use the Pi-Hole.
