I'm up to 41.4% of traffic blocked. Wife hit her first block and just went directly to site on her own. Victory!

 

[Chester Copperpot]

Yeah I went a bit overboard when I first got mine and blocked literally everything on accident

That blocklist that tinfoil posted is actually working out way better and blocking monumentally more shit than the included blocklists and my own personal snooping did.

 

[EmersonHart13]

Agreed, its a good list. I likely have too many lists now with a ton of overlap.

its explained what it covers here

you can also post on the reddit thread and he will update any that should be whitelisted.

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

and yea, you can delete all the other lists. It contains those too.

Step it up one notch and block 10x domains by adding this list instead:

View attachment 47291

I am trying just that list and I only see 846,144 domains on the blocklist? Is your screen shot old?

 

[EmersonHart13]

Make that 880,987...

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

nope thats recent. try a reboot and then update gravity

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

let me double check, maybe it updated

 

[EmersonHart13]

I just did an update when I purged all the other lists I had, it was so many, LOL I was up to like 50.... that got out of control

it updated. 846k is correct.

i feel like my network has been oddly quiet....

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

or maybe the giant spikes are just deflating the rest of the graph

 

[GTvert90]

Been beating my head against the wall with my Google home/hubs. Disabled the last block list and they work now. I'm going to have to find out what I need to whitelist.

devices get quite talky when the internet goes down

can you spot the outage?

 

[EmersonHart13]

whoah

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

well the new pihole version started to not support older verisons of rasbian (which i understand) and I ran into issue upgrading.

SO I was finally forced to upgrade the OS on the pi, I figured I would also move pihole to a proper server now that I have one.

Now I have my main pihole running on ubuntu server....fucking HUGE performance increase in the interface and query response. The pizero really shows its lack of horsepower now

Ill be upgrading the PiZero Rasbian today and turning it into my backup Pihole DNS in case the main goes down.

adguard home. Anyone try? I'm thinking about setting up the docker to give it a go.
