What you can do, which pi-hole does, is modify your local hosts file and redirect ad URLs to 0.0.0.0. I just set it up that way, just as simple if not easier.

The point, I think, is that it will work for every device on your network that's using Pi-hole as its DNS server instead of just the local PC.

I know, but Pi-hole keeps its lists up to date, which i'd have to do manually...

Also, i like its dashboards and stats :)
