You'll learn yet!
Handy tip: set the Pihole to offer addresses higher up the range. That way you can
1) easily switch back without conflicts if it doesn't quite work
2) easily confirm that it is working
So normally it'll be something like 192.168.0.2-50 (.1 being your router and default gateway). Set the Pihole to offer 51-99.

I did a very noddy setup without too much research and that's the major downside I've noticed so far. Often a first refresh will return an error then on 2nd refresh it works fine.DeskJockey wrote: Tue May 25, 2021 2:36 pmI've got the same. Running a Pihole makes things better. Annoyingly YouTube blocking is very tricky because they embed the ads. Combination of ublock and Pihole, etc. works tolerably.RobYob wrote: Tue May 25, 2021 1:54 pm Blocking Youtube ads is definitely hit and miss, I thought it was doing a great job then I got about 4 ads in a row (making up for lost revenue?) Although I'm only using the default blacklist so far.
Mrs complained that the Facebook direct shopping links no longer work so that's a win
Sites like IFLS are dramatically cleaner.

Mrs told me to turn it off until the shopping links worked again.

Just installed adblock and wondered why I didn't do that decades ago.
