Just take it and paste it wherever you like... honestly most of what is here I didn't think of myself I learned it from others.

Follow up on the Pi-Hole, I've been running for about a month and it blocks around 25% of my total internet traffic. So if you think of it this way - 25% of your bandwidth is dedicated to serving you ads, tracking what you're doing and sending data about you to places you didn't know were collecting it. Oddly enough, the biggest offender is my Samsung smart TV, it attempts to send data about I don't know what at least 100 times per day. Microsoft and Amazon are the other 2 biggest offenders but not close to Samsung.

That's pretty freaky.

Do you have any links or guides to making a Pi-Hole?

Just google pi hole tutorial there’s a bunch of good ones out there. Really easy to set up if you follow the steps.
