@@ster9765 Linux sux, had way more problems just getting Linux to work than any issues i have had with 10, and of course Mac OS and Linux are pretty limited. With crappy, if any, support, most things you need to run refuse to, and i have had linux die many times. maybe had windows die.... twice? Safe to say, 10 is still the best option and will stay that way for a long time.

They literally got demonetized for saying how to get around ads that's amazing

This is also a big security upgrade. The amount of malware embedded in ads over the years attempting to target out of date software has only increased.

I'm here to upvote this after I saw the LTT Twitter rant about how adblockers are piracy. I'm now genuinely thinking about setting up my own pi-hole.
I did exactly that about 6 months ago, it's quite easy to set up and the difference in the amount of ads you get served is pretty noticeable.

Hello to folks rewatching this in Jan 2022 after that twitter thread about ad blocking. 👋
Before becoming multi millionaire: Block EVERY Online Ad with this.
After becoming multi millionaire (from Ads): Ad blocking is the exact same thing as piracy.
I just heard about this and googled 'Linus ad block' and found this video, what a joke.
I already see his take on ad-blocking as hypocritical and a hot take with this video alone.
It's as if he is butthurt about ad-blocks, and somehow this video contradicts what his opinion was in the WAN show.
It's also about having integrity he does show both sides even talks about it in his vancedtube video. However this recent stance seems a little wish washy
Give him some credit. At least he didn't pull this video down
You can say it's the same thing without discouraging it though.
9:13 "TH-cam also doesn't serve an ad every time"
Also, youtube ad policy with double and unskippable ads in december 2019....
I swear bro
adblocker for the win
If on mobile app, fast forward to end of video. Hit replay button. Mid-roll ads gone. Can't stop the ads that play before and after the video though.
What? I do this everytime and it always works
they chilled out with it, TH-cam isn't confirmed as profitable and it happened during a slow advertiser period
I was hoping for linus to say: "there are some things that this device can`t block, like this segway por example..." XD
In the future, machine learning will be used to block video sponsorship sections.
Shhhh... don't give him ideas. Let him think his segue lines are good.
haha as if Linus ever makes good segues

Segue NOT -segway-

@@lemniscatefortunecanfinall2707 thanks, finally...
Remember boys, blocking ads is like piracy. Making a video about software that block ads with a sponsor slapped on for good measure is fine though.
Lmao this got recommended to everyone after the tweet and Louis RossManns video
@cablecow15 Getting a mansion and 100’s of grand in upgrades and remodeling written off as a business expense would change anybody. He wants more than one mansion because of you skipping ads he’s relegated to the poverty of only owning one mansion in one of the most expensive cities in North America.
Blocking ad is not piracy. Ads are blocked on client site.

*how do you block ads?*
Presented by our sponsor:
i see what you did there!
It's funny, but the reality is that most people who block ads have no problem with the types of ads Linus has. They're (mostly) not annoying. They don't compromise the content I'm consuming. They don't compromise the security of my machine.
@@KGillis I always hit the right arrow key a couple of times.
@@KGillis they DO compromise content though and only exist mid-video because people block page ads
@@fisheatsyourhead well...you go ahead then...make totally adfree tech channel and any other channel and make quality videos without any ads or sponsors?.... or get a grip of realities of life and stfu and stop whining about meaningless things
I use Pi-Hole to protect my kids. Works great. No impact on browsing performance (It's just a DNS server after all) and centrally manageable. You'll be shocked to see how much of your traffic gets blocks. For me it's darned close to 40% of the URLs. I do get a few false positives. But I have to say that for an open source piece of software, this is great - Commercial ready frankly.
I installed it last night. It doesn't seem to block all TH-cam ads on my Sony Blueray player though. AdBlock Plus on my PC seems to be fool proof. Pi-Hole isn't as good, but, I guess it helps a little. I think TH-cam serves the ads from the same servers that serve the main content
@@idmhead0160 TH-cam ads come from the same servers and aren't 'served' by an external URL. They won't be blocked. They aren't the same as 'ads' in the traditional sense. On a PC, TH-cam ads can be blocked by an application like UBlockOrigin because it will alter the HTML stream entirely. PiHole is a DNS server. It performs a different function.
I’d like to see whatever cool things you could do with a raspberry pi; it’s super affordable so it’s something your audience is more likely be able to follow.
I've had a Pi Hole on my network for years... It's freaking amazing!!
Same here, only annoying thing is that although ads aren't shown they do sometimes appear with a little no image symbol
Don't you have problems with some sites? With TH-cam, either it didn't block ads, especially the ones during the video or it didn't play the video anymore (depending the list I would try).
I ended up giving up because ublock was way more convenient. I don't use TH-cam on my phone at home enough to bother.
Yeah it is. Only downside is when a page doesn't load and you have to figure out "oh right, I have a pihole running, must have blocked that" and then add it to the whitelist (I have the whitelist script's cronjob to run daily but there are still false-positives). Plus, once I had my server die and since no DNS was available the whole internet died. Yet again it took some minutes for me to figure out what happened, and temporarily changed back the DNS server on the router.
tonyrulez69 this comment save me so much time. Thank you so god damn much. I forgot I had to add them to whitelist and just had a couple sites go blank on me.

-LTT advertises Adblock

*_It hurt itself in its confusion_*
Not really, they knew exactly what they're getting into if many people follow their guide. I mean, they basically said that "we rely on AdSense for most of our income and if everyone used this we're done" in the beginning of the video, so they're not confused, this is more like planning and actually going through with shooting yourself in the foot.
Us: What did it cost?
Linus: everything
@@this_is_patrick Imagine thinking that LTT relies on AdSense for the majority of their income.
That's just such an absurdly false statement, you should really pay more attention, Linus has even talked about how they diversified.
adsense is 1 third of their income
Jokes on you! The entire video (channel) is an ad. Try blocking that!
Don't expect PiHole to block in-video ads. I know it's demonstrated in the video, but it does not work nowadays. It's still useful to setup a DNS Sinkhole in my opinion, just don't expect it to block in-video ads.
That's probably because TH-cam started app pinning their own DNS settings and baking it into the app.
You can block YT adds by routing all YT traffic trough a VPN tunnel on a a server in a US sanctioned country like for example Iran. Try it just by using a vpn server located in Iran and all adds are gone, poof!
It works on websites but not apps like TH-cam

I like the VNC option better though. xrdp kept crashing on any device I used.
pi 4 is overkill for pihole
Has it dropped internet connection speed?
Especially if there are multiple devices using the network.
@@rhysnw1 100%
@@bohdandudka4358 Because the pi hole is only intercepting DNS requests, network speed is generally unaffected. The only possible slow downs would be in websites loading, but the Pi 0 seems to handle everything well enough.
quick tip for android users, in the video guide they only populated the top DNS entry with the pi hole, and wiped the second, but for a split second you can see it auto populate with the default 8.8.4.4. This means it won't work as the requests that are blocked by pi hole will then go off to the backup DNS. best to populate both fields with the same address :)

Em Parker that would be cool! My school successfully did that
@BlueyBloke i really hope you didn't host a vpn meant to be used by other people (like a tor node). the whole point of the vpn is to re-route traffic as if you were coming from your home network. your isp has no way of detecting that you're hosting a vpn if you're the only person using it.
@@setheaster3991 BluezBloke : hmmm mooving on
Its pretty easy to do actually. I setup my own OpenVPN server on Vultr (but you can do that with any VPS site) and routed my traffic through that. Follow this guide and you can set it up within 10 mins: th-cam.com/video/IneAGgh9hQg/w-d-xo.html Also download the config file as that I think is the only way to get it working.
@BlueyBloke Hah lol... Horrible ISP! What type of VPN, OpenVPN, SSTP, IPSec, etc...?
They can detect port usage, and if they log traffic they might be able to flag a few VPN types with horrible security.
You can always run an OpenVPN server on a non-default port. It doesn't matter if you're the only one logging into it or if you have multiple friends using it as well. An ISP shouldn't flag you for spam or whatever, unless they've clearly stated that you should not be hosting anything. And in that case I'd just find another ISP!

@@purevert you don't even have to watch them, you can click skip and they still get the revenue as long as the ad is served to you.
@@-AWA As an advertiser, I don't get charged if someone skips the advert.
You can give brand awareness of a product in the first 5 seconds and a long story after. Lots of awareness ready for capturing the customers via other methods due to the familiarity. Probably the best tool out there for getting a new brand in people's minds without necessarily paying for it.
Anyway, the creator would not get any money for a skipped ad, since the advertiser doesn't pay.

People are now defending ads this is terrible. Have you allowed them to collect your data? Sell your data? Earn money from showing annoying shit. When I was a kid my mom told I loved watching ads on television to make me eat. That was when I was less than 2 years old. My quota of watching ads in this lifetime is fulfilled. Never again. Nowadays the apps force you to watch ads when playing games for some stuff I am ok there but when they ask u for the same for no reason that's wrong.
It looks like we are puppets and they force us when the puppeteer handling us says I feel alive mocking in the puppet's voice.
I finally pulled the trigger on this. Nice!!!
I've had a pihole for more than 2 years - it's incredible! Glad to see you recommend this!
*Upoads Video* :
Hey, here's how you block some ads
*TH-cam* :
Not Advertiser friendly! ☢️
well well well back here after 2 years
never thought i would be considering to set this up
Thanks for the tip, Linus XD
DIY VPN? Yes please, I would love to see this become a real video!
Shamyheal Try googling “outline vpn”. DIY vpn.
@@randomblock1_ will do, thanks! I honestly just want to see Linus struggle with the whole process lmao it's always fun to watch representations of how frustrating computers can be at times.
Rather use Zerotier. Thank me later.
Or just buy dedicated IPv4 from a VPN provider as Torguard, that you specify for them as you want to use with Netflix and other streaming services
Except Netflix cause removed a major VPN
Gotta love that you aren't just showing people how to block ads, but the video you used as an example is your videos.
If I close my eyes and plug my ears when an ad is playing did I commit piracy?
I love how the ad I see before watching this video is the LTT x Honey ad
141Mb / 111Mb “not great”
Meanwhile, plebs like me are living that 25Mb / 5Mb life.
10/2 :(
25/5 isn't that terrible
100/40 aint great when you just downgraded from 1gbps/1gbps xd
Dude... I've basically won the lottery if I get 5 MB/s.
20/1
*gets 141 megabits per second download speed*
“That’s actually kinda weaksauce.”
“Yeah it’s not that great.”
Me getting 5 megabits per second
ಥ_ಥ̥
3 down, 2 up
on a really good day I saw it reach 10 for a second, it felt great
@@blueninja012 So you're downloading with ~ 400 kb/s ? Where do you live?
The huge differences.
@@tl469 the piedmont, in North Carolina
blueninja012 So 400 kb/sec is correct? damn...i‘m in Germany (which has bad and really expensive internet compared to whole Europe) and I think the lowest you can have is around 10 Mbit so ~1,25 MB/sec
Still works like a charm as of today! There are now over 150k sites blacklisted in the latest database.
Here you go, for all the ads that I have blocked on your video and will continue to block.
It'd be cool to see a long term test to see how blocking ad traffic this way affects network performance. I bet it'd even benefit older devices considerably.
I use Android and turn on Network up/down data in the notification bar area. Every single website loads the content in 100kbps or less, and yet downloads almost 1 meg of adverts. Fuck that.
@@4partmedia down with that load!
Set it up to a speaker to ping every time it blocks an ad.
Uuh, that would be really annoying, I have PiHole and it gets about 40k requests per day of which about 50% are blocked...so 20k *ping*-sounds per day :D
@@Nero_XY It could be like your theme music...c'mon man....glass half full attitudes around here!
@@Nero_XY I've gotta get some better blocklists
Nero_XY that’s awesome. Have it play twinkle twinkle little star.
Each ping is a note
I think there should be such screening apps available in some routers as well to block adds directly in the router.
LINUS thank you for what you do (I LIKE YOUR ADs !!!)
Linus: Shows everyone how to undermine TH-cams business concept.
TH-cam: am I a joke to you?
TH-cam hosts most ads themself with their own domains. If you block them, you block also the video, you want to watch
@@SchwachsinnProduzent Never had this issue using Ublock
@@johiahdoesstuff1614 Thats because uBlock is not PiHole. Both function completely different. (Didn't you watch the video?)
@@johiahdoesstuff1614 his name is german for bullshit producer so probably irrelevant
@@SchwachsinnProduzent I assumed that even though one is browser based and one is server based, the method of ad blocking is similar. Networking is not my strong suit.
Been using Pi-Hole since release and glad I have. Good to see them getting more spotlight and have setup several times for family and friends. Works well!
New title, "Become a pirate across your whole network with this one weird trick!"
PiHole works pretty much brilliantly, love it.
I'd love more Raspberry Pi and Linux (*cough* Anthony *cough*) videos!
I literally mindscreamed 'anthony' mid video
then go watch windel
@@Bewefau I have no idea who that is
@@jaimered6300 I believe he is called Wendell, he is from Level 1 Tech. One of the best tech channels around if you ask me.
Raspberry Pie 4 and Linux!
Using pihole for over 2 years now... I am also a patreon, so I can support them. Never had issues with it.
I have a UDM Pro and noticed the "Family" content filtering for a VLAN actually is a DNS filter. It doesn't do this by setting the DNS servers on the devices. It instead must use some type of internal ip/port/nat magic to redirect DNS requests.
So if you are finding your OpenDNS / Pi-Hole custom DNS solutions not working, you might in fact have some content filtering configured on your router or security appliance that is interfering.
The ads on your videos by really annoying, I can’t wait to try this out

*Linus: Is this an ad? Kinda looks like an ad*
_*plays his own video in the background_
🤔🤔🤔
The whole video is an ad isn;t it?
And most of the videos on the channel are ads.
Congrats, ad companies have finally gotten people to enjoy watching ads to the point that they will subscribe to these ads and want to be notified when new ads are released.. crazy world we live in.
The best way to block ads on LTT... Start fast forwarding the video around the 1 min mark.
Citizen A.D. They Are Evolving
i can't believe u are helping us to block ads, you have courage son !
Thank you! So easy and helpful
Thanks to this video, not only i used my Pi as pihole but added pivpn, plex server, web server and even made info display .
