## The multi-platform, network-wide ad blocker
Block ads for **all** your devices _without_ the need to install client-side software. Because Pi-hole blocks ads the DNS-level, ads can be blocked in non-traditional places such as in apps or on smart TVs.

### Gravity
The [gravity.sh](https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/blob/master/gravity.sh) does most of the magic. The script pulls in ad domains from many sources and compiles them into a single list of [over 1.6 million entries](http://jacobsalmela.com/block-millions-ads-network-wide-with-a-raspberry-pi-hole-2-0) (if you decide to use the [mahakala list](https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/commit/963eacfe0537a7abddf30441c754c67ca1e40965)). This script is controlled by the `pihole` command. Please run `pihole -h` to see what commands can be run via `pihole`.

#### Other Operating Systems
This script will work for other UNIX-like systems with some slight **modifications**. As long as you can install `dnsmasq` and a Webserver, it should work OK. The automated install is only for a clean install of a Debian family or Fedora based system, such as the Raspberry Pi. If there are other platforms you'd like supported, let us know.
