I ordered a Raspberry Pi 5 so I have a Pi 3 that’s about to be redundant. I haven’t used Pi-Hole so I was thinking it’d be good for that but I’m curious if there’s any downsides for users. Are sites blocked if you dont whitelist them? That sort of thing.

Basically, I’m not worried about me having issues but I’m worried about a maintenance headache if friends and family can’t access things.

    I have occasional issues. I just open the logs in the web admin and whitelist whatever is being blocked when the request fails.

    For instance my fitness app just changed media hosts for their videos. I could login but not stream anything. It took about 2 minutes to find and fix the issue.

    I usually start by clicking disable and trying again. If it works I know it’s something the pi is blocking.
