I’ve run Pi-hole in my homelab for years and benefited from using the service. As well as the hands-on education.

With that said, what is everyone else’s experience with the software? Do you use Pi-hole in your homelab setup? I would assume many hundreds of thousands of people use Pi-hole.

Edit #1:

The image attached to this post is my RPi 5, which hosts the Pi-hole software. Big supporter of the whole “SBCs for learning and home improvement” mentality.

Edit #2:

It is interesting to see the broad support for Pi-hole and DNS blockers in general. The more options, the healthier the tech ecosystem is, which benefits everyone.

    I have pihole running on an old Raspberry Pi B and it just chugs along. Except for the wonky update they put out a few months ago. That took some cleaning up after.
    I check the dashboard a few times a day and it’s a good way to notice network issues and misbehaving programs.
    I’m also running it through cloudflared to encrypt the requests, in case my ISP is snooping on them.
