Setting Up an Ad-Blocking VPN with WireGuard and Pihole
Seemingly every other week for months now a Pihole post makes the front page on HN. Every time I wonder why.  IMO, it's just a DNS black hole with a slick interface.<p>Before adblockers came along I had a script that updated my hosts file.  I then moved to a DNS black hole but it’s been more than a decade since I’ve used either solution.<p>Do you people have that many hostile IoT / Smart thingies connected to your networks?  Are you just unwilling to pay for the ad-free versions of apps.   Are you using apps/services on these devices that don’t offer an ad-free option, if so why?  I’m genuinely curious.
