Protect your network from ads and malware with PiHole

Although online advertising is a major revenue source for your favorite websites, including this one, sometimes people wish to block it for various reasons, including performance issues or privacy concerns.


Pi Hole is an ad blocker that works across you entire network. Ads can be blocked across the entire home. It can also speed up your network and protect you from Malware. Running an ad blocker like this is possible on most Linux distributions. The Raspberry Pi is often the preferred method.



In your network, Pi-hole serves as an internal, private DNS server. Many home users already have this service running on their routers, but their router does not know where advertisements are - whereas Pi-hole does. By intercepting queries for known ad-serving domains, Pi-hole prevents ads from being downloaded.


Running PiHole + Docker + Kubernetes poses a couple of interesting challenges. Check out our quick guide to see how you can protect your entire network with PiHole + Docker + Kubernetes.
