    • Abstract

      Pi-Hole, a lightweight network-wide ad blocker, stands as a powerful solution for enhancing online privacy, security, and the overall user experience. We will explore the dynamic world of Pi-Hole using a Docker container implementation, which can be easily deployed on older hardware using Docker.

      We'll guide you through the process of setting up Docker networking to allow Pi-Hole to have its own IP address on your network. Additionally, we'll demonstrate how to use Pi-Hole as a local DNS server. Furthermore, we'll examine other resources that complement Pi-Hole, enhancing its capabilities in blocking ads and malware domains.
