Hey, I have pihole running on my Linux laptop. I basically forgot everything about my pihole and then got it running again. I wanted to know if I could create something like a server. Mainly because I want to connect the laptop to a printer so i could send files to the laptop through another laptop and it prints it
Pihole is not blocking the ads on YouTube. I mainly want it to block YouTube ads on a smart tv but it isnt doing that. Any suggestions I could do?
This is expected.
Pi-hole can't block ads from Youtube reliably without also blocking the videos/content.
Any DNS filtering software (including Pi-hole) is ineffective for filtering ads delivered by the same domain as content (as Youtube often does), unless you'd be happy to block the content along with the ads.
If blocking ads on YouTube is your primary goal, consider a browser extension like uBlock Origin.
