I've been running pi-hole for 3 years now, it's an awesome project
GM, I’m posting about one cool open source project every day. Today lets check out https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole Pi-hole is a network wide add blocker written in python. It works by blocking requests to advertisements on the DNS level. It even blocks adds that pop up inside iOS apps. You can also use it as a shared hosts file to save DNS entries for any attached device in place of something less user friendly like dnsmasq. It is super simple to setup thanks to a nice interface, good docs, docker images and active community. #OpenSourceDaily
