Block ads & trackers on EVERY device with Pi-hole on a Raspberry Pi 5 + Unbound (recursive DNS) — with a SAFE “test one device first” rollout, plus a clean rollback so you don’t accidentally take your Wi-Fi down. Pi-hole is a network-wide DNS ad blocker (works great for most ads/trackers), but it won’t reliably block YouTube ads (DNS can’t always separate ads vs video). ✅ What you’ll learn: - Raspberry Pi 5 Pi-hole setup (Raspberry Pi OS Lite 64-bit) - Static IP the clean way (router DHCP reservation) - Add Unbound for private recursive DNS - Safely test Pi-hole on ONE device first - Roll out to the whole house using Pi-hole DHCP (when your router can’t set DNS) - Roll back safely if anything breaks

I’m putting together a real-world “network-wide adblock” setup using a Raspberry Pi 5. It will block a ton of ads + trackers across your whole Wi-Fi… but it won’t magically delete YouTube ads everywhere (I’m going to show exactly why). What I’m packaging up for you: - ✅ Step-by-step Pi 5 setup (safe + easy rollback if something breaks) - ✅ Best settings for Pi Hole “set it and forget it” - ✅ Troubleshooting + whitelist checklist (so your apps don’t freak out) Quick question: do you want this as a single full guide or a 3-part mini series (Setup → Fixes/whitelists → “What it can’t block” reality check)?

im arthur , im here to learn and collaborate on raspberry related project coupled with AI . thank you
