About Pi-hole

Pi-hole is a DNS sinkhole that protects your devices from unwanted content without installing any client-side software. Known as the internet's black hole for advertisements and trackers, Pi-hole resolves DNS queries and returns 0.0.0.0 for known advertising and telemetry servers, speeding up your internet and safeguarding your privacy.

Why Pi-hole Stands Out

  • Universal Device Protection: Blocks ads on devices where adblock extensions cannot be installed (Smart TVs, iOS apps, IoT).
  • Faster Browsing Speeds: Prevents ad assets from downloading, reducing page load times and bandwidth consumption.
  • Total Telemetry Elimination: Stops smart TVs, appliances, and operating systems from phoning home telemetry data.
  • Lightweight C Engine (FTL): Extremely low resource footprint capable of handling millions of queries effortlessly.

Pi-hole Technologies

  • FTLDNS C Daemon: Custom fork of dnsmasq providing blazing fast DNS caching and SQLite query logging.
  • PHP & JavaScript Admin UI: Responsive web dashboard for real-time telemetry inspection and whitelist management.
  • Gravity Database: SQLite-based blocklist aggregator capable of managing millions of domain rules.
  • DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH): Encrypted upstream resolver integration via cloudflared / unbound.
