NETWORK-WIDE, HARDWARE AD BLOCKING
Why spend $149 on an AdTrap, when you could spend $35 on a Raspberry Pi?
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 any device to block ads, regardless of hardware or OS.
Improve Overall Network Performance
Since ads are blocked before they are downloaded, your network will perform better.
Reduce Cellular Data Usage
Pair your Pi-hole with a VPN for on-the-go ad-blocking and save on data costs.
Monitor Performance And Statistics
The Web interface shows how many ads were blocked, a query log, and more.
API
Utilize Pi-hole's API in your scripting or programing projects.
