Tom Speirs Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Heard about it right here from @tthurman Im not using a PI though in my case. Using Ubuntu with an intel mini-itx build. I also setup the cloudflare secure DNS. This is used in conjunction with a mini-itx pfsense router. Also highly recommended. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Speirs Posted September 27, 2019 Author Share Posted September 27, 2019 Ive only had to manually whitelist once and its unbelievable how much junk there is out there. 38% of my dns requests are blocked for me. You can imagine how much bandwidth that saves alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tthurman Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Mine is running on a CanaKit Pi 3 B+ also with Cloundfare secure DNS, but through a RT2600AC (you sold me on Synology). The Canakit is a good value at $80, but the 3 B+ is total overkill for Pi-Hole. I'm also using the Privacy Badger extension for my browser and have been very satisfied with the results.

Tom Speirs Posted September 29, 2019 Author Share Posted September 29, 2019 Got to thank you for pointing me to it buddy but as for overkill, that's me in a nutshell, lol! Had you not noticed that!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tthurman Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 yes, I noticed! If I'm over-killing It running Pi-Hole on 3 B+ then your knocking it out of the park on an Intel mini-itx build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Speirs Posted November 2, 2019 Author Share Posted November 2, 2019 Things have moved on and my pfsense box will do it without the need for pi-hole now. So moved over to a pfsense only solution now. All working very nice and just need the one box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
