Comment on POV) You use Windows 11 and set up Pihole for the first time.

I used blokada on my phone and it blocked around 10k calls per day. I’ve since moved to use Mullvad as an always on VPN and turned all of the blockers on. Haven’t setup a pihole for my home yet because I didn’t have access to the router.

You can put it on the network anyway, you just have to set it as the DNS for each device.

  Better to set the DHCP server to hand out the dns rather then set it device by device

    Dude said he couldn’t access the router, which I assume is handling his DHCP in this scenario. I could be wrong, but that would be unusual.

10k calls per day…

More than 1 every 10 minutes. Seems legit.

  Calls as in network requests not phone calls

  Telemetry DNS/API calls, not dialer calls.
