Use Pi-Hole to block annoying ads while browsing the internet. It works by blocking most ad based DNS requests. This can actually speed up your browsing by preventing ad-based images from being downloaded. This comes with a standard Sandisk Ultra SD card. It is also available with a faster, longer lasting High Endurance SD card here
IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ BELOW!
Because most major streaming services, including Youtube (Google), use the same DNS names for both videos and streamed ads, you will most likely not be able to block in-video ads without also affecting the video. doesn't allow me to include a link here, but if you Google search this (including quotes) you will find more info on the Pi-hole site(ignore "Sponsored" links at the top of your search result): "How to block YouTube ads" general site:pi-hole.net
What you get:
- A new Pogo-V4-A1-01 device which has been updated to run Debian Linux version 12. Cloud Engines, the maker of the PogoPlug device, is no longer in business, so the PogoPlug no longer functions as a cloud backup, but the device makes a great Linux box. Firmware on the device has been modified to allow it to load Debian Linux from an SD card. You will have full root access to Debian Linux on the device (see photos)
- One Sandisk Ultra 32GB class 10 microSD card (+ SD adapter), rated 80 MB/s, with Debian Linux 12.15 and pi-hole software installed.
Note: I am not selling pi-hole software. Pi-hole is free software, supported by donations.
- Power supply
- Ethernet cable
Installation is easy:
- Plug the Ethernet cable into your router and plug in the PogoPlug power adapter.
- After the PogoPlug boots up (about 2 min), find the IP address of the PogoPlug. Most routers allow you to see IP addresses of devices on the network. The device name will be "pihole".
- Point your router DNS setting (typically found in the DHCP section of your router configuration) to the PogoPlug IP.
