I’ve just set up my pihole and I’m considering the best way to configure it. Is it a good idea to set the default group to block (almost) all domains and then manually add trusted devices to another group with a “normal” block list? My use case is untrustworthy devices that I don’t want phoning home but which might change their IP address.
Eh? Not really. It’s router firmware that means you have more in depth control. It’s no different from any byo modem router deal
I mean that buying a new device (which I guess I then might have to replace in X years) and configuring it to use openwrt is going to take some time and effort, and ultimately I might end up in a worse situation (than my current “working OK” setup). Maybe if I had infinite time but there’s only so many hours in the day!
I’m literally running it on a tplink n600 i flashed :). Bought that in 2009.
Alright, alright, I’ll add it to the todo list!
I’m still using 15 year old consumer WIFI routers for stuff. Like this.
Hell, my main router is over 5 years old now.
