What a fantastic tutorial, i found this really easy to follow. thank you for the time that went into making this.
Some of your older videos are the reason I got into raspberry pi’s to begin with. I ended up putting pi-hole on a VM with minimal resources and it has worked fine for the most part. In addition to appropriate firewall rules, I am also using pi-hole on my IoT network to a) block unnecessary traffic, and b) monitor where my devices are trying to communicate to.
Great video! I've been using PiHole for several years - first on a Pi, then on a VM, and now in Docker. Always room for improvement in my setup though, so I'll be coming back to this.
Your videos are the best videos out there for tutorials on technology! You make things easy to understand and you do a great job explaining how to set things up. Most tutorials on technology just aren't that helpful! They may know the technology, but they don't explain it so that we novices can understand it. Thanks!
Thanks for the tutorial, followed it and have a first time setup and use of pihole. Loving it so far! Thanks again!
Excellent video. Although I am running pihole on my network for past 3 years, this was of real value. Thank you!
Do a DNS leak test, you will find it's probably not working! There was a fault causing pihole to constantly write to SDcards and it destroyed them within months. Your system would still work, but use your ISP DNS.
I've been using Pi-Hole for awhile now, but never spent the time to fully learn or tweak it. So Thank you for this most excellent tutorial.
Amazing content, man. First time on your channel and in 40min I answered 90% of the questions regarding Pi-hole. Thanks for the easy to understand video.
super easy and straight forward to work out of this tutorial. thanks Chris!
Great tutorial. Got it all up and running on an Orange Pi Zero2. Thanks so much for your work!
Knowledge is power, thank you so much for taking the time to record and provide this tutorial!
The first ever exhaustively done pihole tutorial. Thank you.
Super helpful! My brother took the pihole with him when he moved out and now I have my own all set up!
Great tutorial, now I have my old Raspberry Pi Model B+ running pihole at home. Thank you!
Thanks a ton! I'm glad I checked this out. I've been using pihole for years, but there's still a lot I pulled out of the video. Especially the disable link. I set up a toggle helper in home assistant, and exposed that to google home. I added a rest_command in home assistant with the shutdown link, and set up an automation to trigger that when the helper is toggled.
I can just yell at google to shut Pihole off now! Thanks again!
You and people like you are hero's of the internet. Posting tutorials on things like Pi-hole or some random person with a video that has 9 views on how to change windshield wipers on a '83 Nissan Sentra lol. The internet is amazing once you learn how to block out all the noise. Thank you ✌
Very nice tutorial. Very clear and well explained, thank you sir!
always find your videos so informative and educational. thank you for doing so much of the leg work! 😅
Fantastic content! Thank you so much for this video, I finally have my Pi Hole up and running! YOU ROCK!!!
Oneof the best channels out there for networking and home automation.
Excellent tutorial on PiHole and DNS! Thank you!
Excellent tutorial and blog, just got a new Pi4 installed with Pi-Hole, my first Pi was for an OpenVPN server so actually ive only got around to Pi-Hole after getting a 4th Pi :)
My wife was excited for it because of avoiding tracking when booking flights/hotesl etc.
Ive left unbound for now, think ill test out the default setup for now!
Thanks Chris.
Great tutorial for an average homeowner/home network admin! I just installed this on an old Pi 3 I had and my CPU/Mem up and running is 2.1%/0.9%. Looking forward to more videos! thank you!!!
Thanks a million. I was a bit skeptical in the beginning, since it was my first raspberry pi project but everything turned out fine in the end. 😊
Thanks for explaining the "Why" in your steps. Cheers.
This is what i was looking for, you made my day :-) everything worked like a charm.
Excellent video. Your blog for pihole was perfect. I have 268K on my adlists. Averaging around 12.5% blocked. The only scary part for me was changing my DHCP server to query the pihole for DNS. Thanks. Current running on a Pi4 but hoping to change to a Pi3 B+ when I can get my hands on one.
Great tutorial! Thank you for taking the time to make it.
Great video! It helped me immensely! Donated to your beer fund. Keep up the good work!
You've made an intimidating process very easy to follow. Thank you so much.
This was awesome. Grotesquely helpful in fact. I'm so grateful for your generosity in sharing this and the accompanying blog.
Amazing tutorial! I have Pi-Hole running on a Proxmox Virtual Environment at the moment but I have an extra PI 4....Perfect! Side note.....I have named my neighbor "Worker Bee" as when I am doing things that are sound sensitive he pulls out all kinds of power tools and such Madness!
Thanks for the tutorial, it's all working great now!
Great tutorial!
Thank you for creating this very helpful video.
This is amazoing. Thank you for doing this . I have subscribed and liked !!! keep up the good work man
Nice. Video... i've been using PiHole for a while now, but picked up a few additional tweaks and added unbiound.... Thanks!
Just followed this, I’m a Linux noob, and managed to get this up and running on my original RaspberryPi 1 B. It works perfectly. Well, apart from my cruddy ISP router not allowing my to change DNS, so I’ve had to change DNS on all my attached devices.
Discovered my Samsung TV connects to the internet twice every 5 seconds, even when it’s on standby!
EDIT: April 2024 : The new versions of raspberrypi installer has a couple different options now, but this video is still completely 'followable' even if a couple things you have to click are in slightly different locations. Once its all installed the web-dashboard to use the pihole looks 99% the same as the video.
Great tutorial. Works great. Thank you!
Outstanding Tutorial Thank you!!
Always enjoy your videos, really well done.
Hi Chris
I remember an earlier Crosstalk Solutions video or two where a younger Chris said I don't want to make a Pi-hole video 🙂
But thank you very much for making one and the many Ubiquiti videos. I'm a big fan 🙂
This is in fact the world's greatest Pi Hole tutorial! Thanks👍
Tested this in Linode on a nanode and it works perfectly fine, thank you. I'll try to set it up on the raspberry pi
Excellent. Amazing Tuto! thank's for sharing
finally found a tutorial who tell only what i needed, Indeed the world best pi-hole tutorial in the globe.
Got it working. Thanks.
Nice thorough coverage.
Temporarily disabling blocking involves more than simply clicking on the menu choice. Since browsers cache DNS lookups, you'll need to either let the browser cache expiration kick in or manually clear it: simply hitting refresh on a site that PiHole has just blocked won't work.
Also, some ISPs' routers won't split DNS off from DHCP: in order to run your own DNS, you'll need to run your own DHCP, too. PiHole can do that, maybe it'd be worth a follow-up video?
Excellent tutorial! At the beginnign I ran only 1 Pi-Hole, but upgraded and added a 2nd.
I have setup 2 Pi-Holes, one for primary DNS (Pi-Hole1) and one for secondary DNS (Pi-Hole2)
Pi-Hole1 also runs Unbound. Pi-Hole2 uses Unbound on Pi-Hole1
My Android smarthphone (Samsung) somehow bypassed Pi-hole when I was using only 1 Pi-Hole. Now with 2 P-Holes even less adds (with the same blocklist on both Pi-Holes) etc. on my Samsung and other LAN clients.
You might want to check that one it if you find this it interesting....
Also my ISP does have IPv6 enabled (1Gbit fiber) and both of my Pi-Holes do cover that route very nicely.
One advice might also be: regularly check and upgrade/update Pi-Os itself ( sudo apt update && sudo apt upgade ) just to be sure the Pi Os is running fine.
Bless this man's soul
Another easy-to-follow great video. I tinker and am far away from any type of networking expert. I'm slowly branching out into networked storage and have just begun using UniFi hardware. Most stable network and home Wi-Fi yet. Wondering if I can expect this PiHole project to also filter out advertisements and tracking on social platforms (e.g., native apps vs web-browser)? So far, I've had little luck blocking unwanted content on Twitter. On Facebook I've been using Social Fixer, but even that has its limits. Thanks, Chris!
Great video tutorial. Thank you!
I found a power cord for other USB devices that has a battery in the cable. You can unplug your Pi for up to 4-6 hrs without powering it down. Also a battery backup for power outage. The batteries are 2x 18650's for the small one and 4 for the big one. Found it so handy for myself when working with the Pi. Get batteries from old drill batteries. Usually only 1 or 2 that are dead. The rest will have lots of life.
I really enjoyed how thorough you are.
Thanks for detailed turorial 👍
Fantastic video! Thank you!
The tip to turn on SSH when writing the image was gold. Thank you!
Great tutorial! Got my Pi-hole running in no time
Hey Chris, great video (as always), any chance of an additional one detailing DoH setup for pihole? or a link to a good example of getting it up and running? All resources I've found so far seem to be out of date at this time :(
I'm a complete computer idiot but I followed your tutorial step by step and made that thing work. Thank you very much. I'm also super proud of myself :)
Thank you Chris!!!!
It is the Greatest Raspberry Pi tutorial ever Thanks mate!
Thanks for the tutorial 😁
Thanks man, awesome tutorial - love it
Nice tutorial, I used Pi-hole on my vlan for IoT devices and the van for Guest
Finally, a comprehensive tutorial that actually works!!
Late to the party but just wanted to say Great video (and thanks for the video and tutorial page). Can't wait to turn my Pi3 into something useful. Subscribed & Thumbs Up
cooooooooooooooooool thanks man...this was a fun project
Great info, thank you.
Amazing video! IT worked!
good refresher! thanks for video!
I have 3 piholes deployed on the cloud for redundancy for my personal open dns server.. works like a charm for 4 years now..
Blocking 3M baddies.. A little pruning and troubleshooting here and there is needed from time to time to fix legit but obscure sites/apps to load properly, otherwise works like clockwork..
This is a masterclass, thank you
YAY I DID IT, thank you!
Great tutorial. Thanks !
The best tutorial I have found so far! In my case, the "configurator" of the Imager did not activate my ssh. I had to cd /boot and do a "sudo touch ssh" before raspi would even let me in.
Chris, I like the new intro. Good work!
Thanks for this, was a great tutorial!
Thanks for this!!
30:05 After reading/viewing several many tutorials like this one, I found setting the router's dns server to the raspberry pi (pi-hole) didn't work. I did manage to get everything working up to that point - but no queries to be had. Eventually I decided to manually configure each computer's set up as described at 28:58. And yeah, probably could have just set the preferred DNS server, but hey, working Pi-hole! Afterward, did see a written Mac tutorial that did mention setting this up on individual computers - the only one I'd seen 'till this vid that mentioned it as all others only said static for the Pi-hole device itself. Glad to see someone else noting this as it is what eventually worked for me.
Awesome tutorial!!!
Awesome podcast, thanks a ton. Easy, informative, educational - love it.
Woooooooo, updated Pi-Hole video!!!!
nice job , thansk you help my so much.
Per Eben Upton (recent interview on Explaining Computers TH-cam channel), Pi 3A+ models are being prioritized for retail. I use them all the time as servers. Perfect for this function and available.
Loving that eth cable art.
Very cool video thanks, i was looking on your channel , you havent any video about shortcuts using stream deck, i think can be a very good option for a future video
Hey @Crosstalk Solutions thank for the video! I love your stuff keep going!
How do I set this up in the unifi new UI?
Mind doing one more video with going in more depth and maybe some firewall rules? 😅
This was a great video because FINALLY, I found something that was detailed and step-by-step especially on the SSH part. However, I wish there was a lot more guidance/details on the Static IP Address part specifically on Option 2 because unfortunately, I have a Netgear router and it's ALWAYS a nightmare trying to log onto the Admin page. Now, after trying out the 2nd option, I need to restart from the very beginning, because I nuked the IP address and I don't even have one anymore when I use "ip a" to find it.
On my Netgear router I reserve the 192.168.2-10 as static IP addresses. In PI set your address in config to one of those hosts. Then you can rout your traffic through it and not worry about it changing.
Great video glad there is an update video for this. Just finished setting this up. Quick question since you mention you have 3 VLANs where in UDMPro do you setup the IP address for the pihole? Would it be in the default network? I want all my VLANs traffic to go threw Pi-Hole... Keep up the great work.
Works great on my Raspberry Pi B.
Hey Chris, thanks for this video. I've been using pi-hole for quite a long time on my Raspberry Pi 3B+, but sadly pi-hole can not be neither updated nor installed on it any more, as support for Raspbian 9 was dropped.
UPD There is a way to force the installation. Seems they have changed something recently and I was able to install it again! YAY!
THank you so much
Very good tutorial for pihole
Great video thank you
This was Helpful , Thank You :) QC
@27:35 "star WARS tv series" - I'm triggered!
Seriously though, thank you for a great tutorial!
Star Wars!? It's Star Trek! haha Great video - I'm looking forward to setting up this project for myself.
Thanks for this great video! You have a considerate neighbour 😁
Arrived too late, but watching now. I'd probably go the vm route since I have extra computing power available on my 3700x build.
Best tutorial in the world.
