jacobsalmela 9a2862de62 closes #24 whitelist without running gravity.sh 
It's pretty slow because /etc/hosts is so large, but it works.  You can
add any number of domains as arguments and it will search for and
remove each one.

Maybe someone smarter knows how to make it faster...

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 on your network.

Coverage

Featured on MakeUseOf and Lifehacker!

Automated Install

Make sure to set a static IP address before running this!!

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.sh does most of the magic. The script pulls in ad domains from many sources and compiles them into a single list of over 900,000 entries.

Custom Config File

If you want to use your own variables for the gravity script (i.e. storing the files in a different location) and don't want to have to change them every time there is an update to the script, create a file called /etc/pihole/pihole.conf. In it, you should add your own variables in a similar fashion as shown below:

origin=/var/run/pihole
adList=/etc/dnsmasq.d/adList

See this PR for more details.

Whitelist and blacklist

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

How It Works

A technical and detailed description can be found here!

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.
