## Technical Details
The Pi-hole is an **advertising-aware DNS/Web server**. If an ad domain is queried, a small Web page or GIF is delivered in place of the advertisement.
### Gravity: Finding Ads To Block
The [gravity.sh](https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/blob/master/gravity.sh) script does most of the magic. The script pulls in over 100,000 known ad-serving domains from many sources and aggregates them into a single list.
#### Additional Blocklists
You can also use Pi-hole to block additional domains beyond the defaults. It can even be used to block malware or phising domains. [The Big Blocklist Collection](https://wally3k.github.io/) is a good resource for finding additional domains to block.
#### Other Operating Systems
The automated install is only for a clean install of a Debian family or Fedora based system, such as the Raspberry Pi. However, this script will work for most UNIX-like systems, some with some slight **modifications** that we can help you work through. If you can install `dnsmasq` and a web server, it should work OK. If there are other platforms you'd like supported, let us know.
### Web Interface
## The Dashboard (Web Interface)
The [Web interface](https://github.com/pi-hole/AdminLTE#pi-hole-admin-dashboard) will be installed automatically so you can view stats and change settings. You can find it at:

You can view [real-time stats](https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/how-do-i-view-my-pi-holes-stats-over-ssh-or-on-an-lcd-using-chronometer/240) via `ssh` or on an [2.8" LCD screen](http://amzn.to/1P0q1Fj). This is accomplished via [`chronometer.sh`](https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/blob/master/advanced/Scripts/chronometer.sh). ![Pi-hole LCD](http://i.imgur.com/nBEqycp.jpg)
