Pi-hole
Blocks ads and trackers for every device on your network.
Instead of Network-wide ad and tracker blocking
Screenshot from pi-hole.net, taken 2026-10-23, shown to help you recognise the tool. It belongs to its maker. Ask us to remove it.
Pi-hole answers your home network's name lookups and refuses the ones that lead to known ad and tracking servers, so every device benefits without installing anything.
It can break some sites and needs a small always-on computer, so Delivery is a 3.
