I'm using Firefox in safe mode because of the 144-on profile corruption bug. So no adblocker.

Has anyone here installed pihole locally yourselves? How's it go?

(thinking of it just running on this laptop in the background and i do dns from firefox to localhost port whatever)

@davidgerard I have it running on a Raspberry Pi and love it. However, it is not perfect. After years of running, I had the SD card go into readonly mode after too many writes. I cloned the card to a new one and everything worked fine again. I now have high endurance SD cards, so this should be less of an issue. I plan on running a second PiHole in a docker container on my Synology for some redundancy.

@davidgerard Also, I had to block outbound DNS at my router to block things that ignore the DHCP DNS entry and try and use random name servers on the internet.
