Is there any negative to using a Pi Hole? Ie speed reduction.
#pihole #raspberrypi
I updated #Untappd and now there’s a giant ad right under my checkin. This is a new thing and it’s ugly AF.
@vozoto
When I started using pi-hole, I actually got a slight speed increase on my network. And a further increase when I added unbound to do all of my own DNS resolution.
The only way you might get a speed reduction is if you use your pi-hole as DHCP server as well.
If you are seeing ads where you previously were not, they're probably coming from a domain that's not on your block lists. I can give you some list recs if you need, as can @opie .
@voltronic this Untappd issue must just be an update to their app and it annoyed me as it’s pretty obtrusive (they have ads every 5 checkins or so, but this has made me decide that I need to block this crap)
