Well if you're looking at it that way then we should all turn off the internet.Hmm ... they also offer an Android app. I guess all the app does is switch your DNS entries when installed, then sits back and spies on your device in perpetuity (guessing).
It took me about an hour to set up. I followed a couple tutorials on YouTube. Most complicated part was figuring out how to set up the pi as the DNS server on my router.
Any pointers on this part? I have FIOS with the default router they give you so I'll be trying to figure that out tonight.yeah. took me a lot of trial n error to see how to do it in my Verizon router too.

So you can run it on Windows, op. What would you need a pi for?
Only on a virtual pi machine running inside a Windows
Pi-hole blocks ads on Windows computers when your router (or Windows TCP/IP setup) directs all DNS requests to the pi running pi-hole. Even though Windows benefits from the pi-hole device, it doesn't run pi-hole.
You just can't interpret.Yeah. It's a false claim. It doesn't allow any device to block ads. It allows ads to be blocked on any device. Dishonest developers.
You just can't interpret.
It's not.Even if true, it doesn't excuse the developers for false advertising. Is it claimed on the website that any device and os can block ads with this program, or not?
It's not.
It claims that if you run this program it will block ads on any device regardless of what OS that device is running.
Again, you can't interpret.

Just keep in mind you're the only one in here (and probably on the internet) having trouble with this.You need to learn how to interpret. It was never an issue what was meant. It's what was stated.

Get a canakit? Plus breakout cable and breadboard. And an arduino mega plus sensor kiteBay has $15 off $75 coupon for a few hours.
Any recommendations for a rpi 3 with decent case, power cord and maybe some boards/lights? I already have plenty of msd cards around the house.
I also noticed that going to some sites they still are detecting that I have an adblocker even though I'm not running one. I went to Washington Post and it said I have an adblocker running.
It doesn't really but I thought it might get around it somehow.Why does that surprise you? They can detect whether or not they're serving ads to you. If they're not, then you must be blocking them.
I have 2 of these.eBay has $15 off $75 coupon for a few hours.

The pi-hole subreddit has some threads about blocking YouTube ads if you haven't checked there yet.I got it set up just now it was very simple. It appears to be working however youtube ads still show and from searching it appears there is no solution for it just now.

Set up 1 of these today and have been playing/testing it.
AOL has a auto playing video (I dislike those).
Using Chromium with ABPro ,AB+ , and uBlock Origin the video played with pihole silence.
Reason enough to keep for me if it stops auto playing video on others sights also.
I have an edgerouterx. I wish I understood half of the info you linked to because it would be cool to try. I love tech but networking makes me want to blow my brains out. Before the guy in your link even gets to step one he mentions sudo....I'm out.How does this work? As a DNS proxy by blacklisting hosts and domains, or by some other means?
Edit: I watched the little YouTube video. Yes, it works through DNS.
Found this guide for doing the same through a Ubiquiti EdgeRouter, I have an EdgeRouter Lite (ERLite-3), so may try it out.

On a side note why does everyone in networking/it talk in acronyms? It drives me crazy....
I don't see how defeating ad server DNS can defeat autoplay unless the video is being served by a known ad server. I use a separate plugin for Chrome that defeats auto playing videos.
