Once you install a network ad blocker, you need to actually use it. Set the ad blocker as your preferred DNS server After setup, you will access the dashboard via your.pi.ip:admin port (i.e. Once complete, go to the dashboard and log in. You’ll next create a user name and password, followed by a reminder to set up the router to use AdGuard as the DNS server (more on that in a minute). Importantly, make note of both ports (if changed from default). If you happen to be running a web server on the same network, choose something other than port 80 for the web interface. The first is to define the port that the admin interface will be accessed through and the DNS server port. Once in the web interface you will need to complete several steps. In either the terminal or a SSH session, run the following: curl -sSL | bash Originally installed, as it says, on a Raspberry Pi, Pi-hole was one of the first network-wide ad blockers. Pi-hole has been around a little while longer than AdGuard (since 2015). If you are only installing the network ad blocker you can safely ignore the remote desktop setup.
See this article for initial setup of the Pi. In both cases, installation will be done on a Raspberry Pi. The two services accomplish the same end goal, but as you’ll see one service offers a little more “oomph” for the work. In this post, we’ll go through the install of both Pi-hole and Adguard.
As a side benefit, blocking ads also speeds up page loading and can improve web security by reducing your exposure to malware that can be silently embedded in ads. In a nutshell these services do exactly as described: block ads. Two of the most popular blockers available are Pi-hole and AdGuard. What if you could remove some of those ads? You can, simply install a network ad blocker. This sometimes followed by some profanity and rapid closing of windows. So, how about all those annoying ads on the internet? You know, the ones that you click on and almost instantly your antivirus has a seizure.
