I just discovered this and it works fantastically on any old / unused android device you might have lying around, I was shocked at how easy it was, all the instructions are there, once you have it running all you need to do is set your router DNS settings to your pihole IP address and presto! Ads and trackers are gone!

    Good concept but the WiFi latency and the processing speed would I’m sure slow down your browsing experience.

    Cool though!

      I’m not sure about that. The average consumer router is fairly underpowered but is still capable of handling the needs of most home networks.

        Wifi adds latency. Adding 30-300 ms of latency will noticeably affect your browsing experience.
