- curl is not executed if last execution is newer than Last-modified in http request. (option -z)
- extraction of domain list from file 'hosts' standardized and shortened
- temporary files are not overwritten if not necessary.
- domains with no dots (i.e. localhost) removed automatically from list
- the code to reduce duplicates and create the output is now shorter
- "/etc/dnsmasq.d/adList.conf" is not overwritten and dnsmasq not restarted when is not necessary

Raspberry Pi Ad Blocker

A black hole for ads, hence Pi-hole

Pi-hole

The Pi-hole is a DNS/Web server that will block ads for any device.

Coverage

Featured on MakeUseOf and Lifehacker!

Automated Install

On a clean installation of Raspbian, you can run this command to auto-install the Pi-hole. Once installed, configure any device to use the Raspberry Pi as your DNS server and the ads will be blocked.

curl -s "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jacobsalmela/pi-hole/master/automated%20install/basic-install.sh" | bash

Gravity

The gravity-adv.sh does most of the magic. The script pulls in ad domains from many sources and compiles them into a single list of over 120,000 entries.

Whitelist and blacklist

You can add a whitelist or blacklist in /etc/pihole/ and the script will apply those files automatically.

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 only works for a clean install of Raspiban right now since that is how the project originated.

Optimizations

I am working on some great optimizations to allow the script to run much faster. I also have a bunch of new sources for ad domains but I still need to see if the lists are OK.
