PiHole is a network wide ad blocker that works at the DNS level. Basically you route all of your network's DNS requests through PiHole and it blocks any domains that are known ad/malware domains.

Why would you not just modify your hosts file on your machine? Do you really need a raspberry pi for this?

Sometimes you don't have access to the hosts file, like on an unrooted phone or a smart TV.
