- Pi-hole is a DNS sinkhole for network-wide ad blocking without client-side software.
- Key features include easy installation, blocking ads in non-browser apps, caching DNS queries for speed, and running on minimal hardware.
- It offers a command-line interface, a web dashboard, and can function as a DHCP server for automatic device protection.
- Supports scalable server-grade hardware, IPv4/IPv6 blocking, and is free open-source software.
- Alternative installation methods via Git or wget are provided for code review, alongside a Docker option.
- Configuration involves setting Pi-hole as the DNS server on the router, using its DHCP server, or manual device setup.
- Donations and affiliate links support maintenance; contributions like issue reports and pull requests are encouraged.
- FTLDNS provides fast statistics via an API for integration, accessible via browser or command line.
- The pihole command allows full administration, including allowlisting, debugging, and viewing logs.
- The web interface offers mobile access, password protection, detailed graphs, and query logs for easy management.
