Your smart TV, your phone&rsquo;s apps, the various gadgets quietly phoning home across your network, none of them benefit from an extension you installed on a laptop. Pi-hole solves this at the source by blocking unwanted domains for every device on your network at once. Pair it with Unbound and you go a step further, resolving DNS yourself rather than trusting a third party with the record of every site you visit. This guide builds that combination, explains why each piece matters, and is candid about the gotchas. If you have ever cleared a DNS cache to fix a stubborn lookup, you already understand more of this than you think.</p>Tue, 24 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000
