Network-wide ad blocking via your own Linux hardware
No client-side software required
Install by running one command:
curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash
Our code is completely open, but piping to bash can be dangerous. For a safer install, review the code and then run the installer locally.
Pi-hole is free, but powered by your donations.
Block Over 100,000 Ad-serving Domains
Known ad-serving domains are pulled from third party sources and compiled into one list.
Block Advertisements On Any Device
Network-level blocking allows you to block ads in non-traditional placed such as mobile apps and smart TVs, regardless of hardware or OS.
Improve Overall Network Performance
Since ads are blocked before they are downloaded, your network will perform better.
