…until your family complains that their favorite site has stopped working.
Pi-Hole these days allows you to create Groups so you can set certain devices to fewer or less restrictive blocklists or just leave their connection untouched entirely. Groups is basically how you solve the problem of it breaking something for someone else.

I’ll definitely give those a spin when I’ve done a fresh install of pihole 6. I’ve been hesitant to do so because I don’t know how to do a fresh install easily when I’ve already used unbound to make my pi-hole a recursive DNS server and one of my pi-holes also doubles as an immich server so I have to do a lot of backing up I as of yet have been too lazy to do.

Hahaha my partner just started not using the wifi and didn’t tell me, I found out when her data ran out 🙄
Oh haha! My wife had a similar issue with Google and those “deals” it shows, when searching for something to buy :D
Haha. Same with mine. She was mad that she was not seeing ads everywhere as she liked to interact with them and buy stuff.
God regular people are so fucking weird haha. I just can’t wrap my mind around wanting to click on ads.
Sometimes I wonder if working in local television news for 10 years and being subjected to ads basically constantly broke something in me.
Had a family member complaining that they couldn’t access “the internet” and found that they only clicked ads on google searches…

The state of computer literacy and media literacy is appalling.
I use the OISD list for family members and I haven’t received a single complaint in years.

Since the update my pi-hole is stoll blocking stuff, but I can not reach the interface anymore. I’m on DietPi and use Unbound as well.
For months my wife couldn’t download podcasts off Spotify only for me to discover it was pihole the entire time.
