I ordered a Raspberry Pi 5 so I have a Pi 3 that’s about to be redundant. I haven’t used Pi-Hole so I was thinking it’d be good for that but I’m curious if there’s any downsides for users. Are sites blocked if you dont whitelist them? That sort of thing.
Basically, I’m not worried about me having issues but I’m worried about a maintenance headache if friends and family can’t access things.
The only one I ever found in 2 years of pihole use was cdn.cookielaw.org… a good percentage of sites won't display with it blocked. Most other stuff is fine.
When I first installed pihole I went overboard with blocklists and broke nearly everything… don't do that :p
What's your definition of overboard? I currently have a good one million domains blocked, and only had to whitelist a few for some devices, not even network-wide
