Pi-hole has low resource requirements and can even run over wireless. All model Raspberry Pi's will work for Pi-hole: Zero Zero W 1B 1B+ 2B 2B+ 3B 3B+ but don't take our word for it: [image] Pi Hole Ad Blocker with Pi Zero W This project will turn your Raspberry Pi Zero W into an ad…

running in docker or from source? experienced any issues while installing/configuration?

[image] Michal_Wiczynski: running in docker or from source? Not in Docker. Zero problems with install or configure.

I am not familiar with the details of the RPi family tree, but the board I am using was the first B type that went to manufacturing. It has 256K memory. The desktops that came with the early distros ran miserably slow so I tried using it as a headless mpd client. It sort of worked but there was ofte…

[image] jfb: I run one PiHole on a 3B+, and another on a Zero W. Are these on the same network? If so, how are they configured and what is the benefit of running two of them? Thanks, JAW

Two Pi-Holes in parallel provide redundancy. Each is configured the same (blocklists, black/white/regex lists), on different IP's on the network. The router has the IP of each Pi-Hole listed as DNS servers. Each of the Pi's is on a different UPS, so they can withstand a power outage along with th…

Cool. Thank you for answering. Do you have a script or other method of automatically syncing the settings between the Pi-Holes? Interestingly, and disappointedly, my router only has one DNS server field for the LAN. The WAN has two, but if I change them to point to the Pi-Hole (which works), my in…

No script. I don’t make local black/white/regex changes very frequently. When I do I just change both. The subscribed block lists update automatically by default.

Thanks for the info. I also found this post of yours on the same topic. [image] How to sync settings for two Pi-Holes on network? Help Depending on your router and clients, you might find that the loads won't be balanced. Since a normal Pi-Hole setup can eas…

[EDITED] - I see you use your Apple router for DHCP. I tried using my router for DHCP instead of my Pi-Hole and it didn't make a difference. I'm not sure why I can't get my router to use a second DNS server when I take my Pi-Hole down. Will keep playing with it. –--–--– @jfb – question; are either…

[image] JAW: are either of your Pi-Hole’s providing DHCP to your network? No. But, you configure your Pi-Holes to each provide DHCP on non-overlapping ranges, and have each Pi-Hole advertise both itself and the other Pi-Hole for DNS.

What model Raspberry Pi should I use for Pi-hole?

It doesn't work quite this way with many routers. Clients will use any DNS provided to them, and some of your traffic will bypass Pi-Hole.
