How often do you find you need to mess with it? I've wanted to dabble but I'm super wary of introducing yet one more thing I need to tinker with to keep happy (especially if it's gonna block the whole house's internet if it breaks).
I have a pi.hole and the only time I literally ever touch the interface is if my wife thinks something is broken because of it. Usually it’s not the problem. I literally never touch it otherwise.
Sweet, thanks.
I almost never have to mess with it once I got it running. Very occasionally I have to turn off blocking for a minute to access a website that is being served by an ad server, but this is easy. There is a web interface that you can use on your phone web browser with an option to pause blocking for 30 seconds or 5 minutes.
It has never broken or had a bad update or something and blocked my whole Internet. Good reliable set up and forget software. Been running it for years.
Great to hear, thanks!
