Re: [PLUG] [o/t] Pi-hole

[Casey Bralla via plug <plug@lists.phillylinux.org>]

The PiHole works great for me.  All the family cell phones, desktops, 
and laptops benefit from it when they are inside using WiFi.  I've 
(almost) never had a problem with it.

Of course, you have to change the DNS settings in the router to use the 
Pi instead of the normal DNS they bake in.
