Pi My Life Up ☛ How to Install Pi-hole on Ubuntu
Pi-hole is a super easy-to-set-up network-wide ad blocker with support for several Linux operating systems, including Ubuntu.
This ad blocker works by acting as a DNS sinkhole. You configure your clients to use your Ubuntu Pi-hole server as its DNS, and it will block any request that goes to a blocked website, such as an ad server. It is an incredibly useful tool, especially when trying to block ads on devices that don’t have adblockers, such as smart TVs.
