I ditched my Pi-hole but still block ads with NextDNS
I love the idea behind the Pi-hole: block ads at the DNS layer so ads never even reach your devices. No ads, no trackers, and no worries about your extensions breaking! Works network-wide! Unfortunately, it caused me more grief than joy. I love most things…
Onboarding was easy to follow with simple command-line installation that still makes you feel like HackerMan. I would log in to the Pi-hole, see if the UI shows any errors, google them, and do whatever some guy on a forum says to fix it. Sometimes I'd need to SSH into the Pi-hole, check the logs, google those, or maybe do a software update.
