Are you fed up with webpages jam-packed with ads and malware, making them almost unusable? This amazing kit turns your Raspberry Pi 3 into a DNS (Domain Name Server). It's the kind of device that translates names like adafruit.com into IP addresses, such as 104.20.38.240. When you install Pi Hole DNS, it performs a nifty trick. If it's asked for the IP address of an ad server, like ads.adserver.com, it simply returns nothing! This means you'll never connect to the ad server, and you'll be free from intrusive ads. Your internet connection will be faster, use less data, and work on all your devices - computers, tablets, and phones. Even if you can't run an ad - blocker plugin on your phone or tablet, this kit will work, and ad - blocker detectors won't know you're using it. We also have a guide for using Pi - Hole with the Raspberry Pi Zero W, but with this kit, you can monitor more stats at a glance. Upgrade to this Pi - Hole Ad Detection Kit for Raspberry Pi and 2.8' PiTFT! This pack doesn't come with a Raspberry Pi because you might already have one or want to choose your preferred model. We recommend the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B, which has both WiFi and Ethernet. You can also use a Pi 2, though you'll need a WiFi dongle if you want wireless access. To use this kit, you need to install PADD (Pi - hole Ad Detection Display) and Pi - Hole on the Adafruit 2.8' PiTFT Plus. It'll show fun and useful stats like the number of blocked ads and the top offending domains. Follow our learn guide to build your own! This pack includes everything except a Raspberry Pi, and there's no soldering required. It comes with a PiTFT Plus Assembled 320x240 2.8' TFT, an 8 GB microSD Card with PIXEL Desktop NOOBS, a 5V 2.5A Switching Power Supply with a 20AWG MicroUSB Cable, a Pi Model B+ / Pi 2 / Pi 3 Case Base in Smoke Gray, and a Faceplate and Buttons Pack. Don't forget to get a Raspberry Pi, and we suggest the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B.
Using this Pi - Hole Ad Blocking Kit is easy. First, make sure you have a Raspberry Pi. We recommend the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B, but a Pi 2 can also work. If you use a Pi 2 and want WiFi, you'll need a dongle. Then, install PADD (Pi - hole Ad Detection Display) and Pi - Hole on the Adafruit 2.8' PiTFT Plus that comes in the pack. Follow our learn guide step - by - step for a smooth DIY process. When it's all set up, your Raspberry Pi will start blocking ads for all your devices on the network. You'll notice a faster and cleaner internet experience. As for maintenance, keep your Raspberry Pi and the components in a cool, dry place. Check for software updates regularly to ensure the best performance. If you have any issues, refer back to our learn guide or reach out to our support team. And always remember, this kit doesn't include a Raspberry Pi, so make sure you get one before you start.
