Pi-Hole – A black hole for Internet advertisements

I bought the Pi-Hole kit for ~$US100 but was never able to get it to work properly with SSL/TLS sites despite some (admittedly cursory) Googling. It's a great idea in theory.

Somebody is overcharging you on this one. I installed it on my Raspberry Pi B from like 2012. I installed Raspbian, input a small one liner and it was installed.

WAIT, just updated to the latest version and it's working great now. All I had to do was set my Airport to use the Pi-Hole for DNS and now every device on my home network is 99% ad-free. Very impressive.

Is that a raspberry pi and some cables sold for $100?

No, there's also a 16GB SD card with the software preloaded, and a plastic cover.

Basically.

That is official pi-hole in a nice box preloaded with software. It is not a swindle, it is a way to help project: https://pi-hole.net/shop/
