  I feel bad for households without a nerd to set up the family pihole

  Like families where nobody cooks

    You have never had some family member experience a broken website that they needed to work but you were not around to fix it on the server side?

      That’s the reason I no longer have a pihole…

      That’s why my wife is raw dogging the internet. I excluded her devices from Pihole after i heard too much “site x is not working”. She bought from some fake shops. I didn’t, thanks to our block list.

        My 65 yo mother can disable and enable the 2 piholes on her home network when she needs to and she’s not a techie. How are people so incompetent?

      I set a separate SSID on the wifi without the pihole as the DNS provided by DHCP that they can use.

      This. I use pihole as just a DNS server with blocking off since it was too much to have to deal with the random broken pages.
