Pi-hole
Pi-hole is a special tool that blocks ads on your devices when you're using the internet. It runs on a small computer and stops ads from showing up on your screen. This makes your internet faster and keeps your privacy safe by preventing advertisers from tracking you. Setting up Pi-hole is easy, and it gives you control over what you see online. It's like having your own personal ad blocker that makes your browsing experience better.
It is used as the prime DNS. All internet bound traffic on the LAN network goes through the pinhole server which serves as the primary DNS for this traffic, providing ad blocking and site restriction functionality. It blocks trackers and has a comprehensive list of malicious site blocks. In addition it acts as a local DNS, where local host records, both A records and CNAME aliases are created for a number of locally running services mapping IP addresses to host names.
