I'm pondering bringing my Rpi1 back to life and chucking PiHole on it.

The Pi-hole can block ads for all devices on your network. All you need is a Raspberry Pi connected to your router.


It works by taking the local DNS off your existing router and blocking all ad servers.

I can't find out if it is possible to allow a single domain to show adverts, that website being BCF.

Because dem blobs need to be saved innit.

Anyone using PiHole?

You can add domains, let me try on my test one and ill see what needed editing. I've not tried it back on after I killed my cctv but I'm sure it'll boot.

Thinking of doing the same thing myself, but don't you need a RPi B as the minimum hardware?

If PiHole definitely works on the early version, this is what I will be using it for Smile

I think there is a method to 'whitelist' certain Ad Servers, but not a specific domain that uses them - so if you 'whitelist' the Ad Servers that BCF uses, they will still deliver adds when you visit other sites.

Can't think why, I'm happily running lighttpd and squid and a bunch of other stuff on an A. PiHole is just a proxy server and an /etc/hosts file, right?
