Install by running one command:

curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash

Our code is completely open, but piping to bash can be dangerous.  For a safer install, review the code and then run the installer locally.




Known ad-serving domains are pulled from third party sources and compiled into one list.


Network-level blocking allows any device to block ads, regardless of hardware or OS.


Since ads are blocked before they are downloaded, your network will perform better.


Pair your Pi-hole with a VPN for on-the-go ad-blocking and save on data costs.


The Web interface shows how many ads were blocked, a query log, and more.


Utilize Pi-hole’s API in your scripting or programing projects.
