Mmm, Pi-hole - Hackdot

Re:Mmm, Pi-hole by pbhjpbhj on Wednesday September 26, 2018 @12:01PM (#18077297)

On an RPi I can plug it in to the USB on my router for power and connect with ethernet. Otherwise I have to run a full powered server perpetually to manage DNS for the home network. Made sense to me.

I stopped using it as mine was seemingly hacked (100,000 lookups or so in a short time, presumably some sort of page-impression generation?) and I hadn't the time to trace if it was a problem with the project or not.

And if you’re that way inclined, a POE Pi hat can get another cable removed.

Have they fixed the PoE issues? http://linuxgizmos.com/refund-offered-for-raspberry-pi-poe-h...

I wasn’t aware of that - thanks. I think I’ll be safe as there will be no peripherals plugged in, but that’s something that needs considering it seems.

I've gone the route of using another box to do PoE -> 5V USB, but unfortunately the TP-Link converter is outputting 4.8V instead of 5V (the Pi3b will technically run on this, but it's not a good idea).
