Excellently done. 1. No annoying "background" music to distort the information 2 no annoying picture in picture of anyone during the actual screen shots. 3. No pointless digressing about various subjects having nothing to do with the topic at hand. These three earned you a like and a sub. Looking forward to more tutorials.

Great video! If you don't want a dedicated server for pi-hole but would like to run it along with other applications it really works great in a docker container as well. A bit more configuration work to get the network settings for the container right but then it works like a charm. Plus updating is really easy.

subscribed! loved the way you teach and present the video man! not boring at all, this was just what i was looking for. cheers!

[murtadha]

Thanks for this guide! This is one of my favourite channels on YouTube

[antonykodinye]

Thank you so much. Everything was well explained and I have been using pi-hole for while but I still learned some things.

[bluetheredpanda]

I really like your video. As others have noted, they’re clear and enjoyable.
I still have loooots to learn when it comes to the command line etc., but can’t wait to learn. I’ll start by exploring your pi+ipad videos afterwards. Thanks for all the knowledge! 🙌

The reason why the "Yeti" cooler ad was blocked was: it was attached to an ad url. If she went directly to Yeti, she could have gone to their cooler section and seen the product.
Great video

[jucosorin]

Great tutorial. Thank you for all your hard work. Now I have no excuse to not add pihole to my home network 😊

[aaronletchford]

What a bloody good video mate thanks, no fluff messing just to the bloody point 👌

[YannMetalhead]

Comprehensive guide, easy to understand and straight to the point. That's one of the best tutorials I ever saw, thank you very much. P.S. The cached DNS thing was driving me mad 😂

[jonnyslc]

Excelent video and most helpful. Thank you!!

[zdnnis]

THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS WAS EXTREMELY HELPFUL :D

[marcusjackie]

I am very glad that I stumbled upon your video

[krasy]

Amazing video! Great content, really useful, no asking for subscriptions before even presenting the content (this drives me mad!!!), no adds (which would be funny considering the content of this particular video ;)) and top-notch production level (audio and video). WELL DONE and thank you!!!!🙏

[tkonzl]

Great video and tutorial. Thank you. I'm using the very old, original 2012 model RPi B w/256MB memory and it works just fine for Pi-hole.

[MrAmit]

Good alternatives:
1. NextDNS
2. Adguard Home

Great guide, worked like a charm. Good job!

[liverleef]

Thanks for going into some detail on managing clients instead of just making yet another how to install PiHole video.

[FreedomDaddy]

I love my Pihole. I did it just like you did with unbound.

[lorenzonicastro]

I got my pihole to actually work for the first time ever. The best video i saw on the topic yet and your voice is soothing and chill. Loved it. You are gonna go far man!
