Learn more about PiHole here. This service is a managed offering of that. Some details:
PiHole takes some getting used to! You will be amazed (aghast?) at how much bad stuff you are inadvertently querying for when you just want to look at little cute cat pictures or send mom an email. The tracking filters alone make this service worth its weight in gold. That said, it will also block lots of VALID things you are trying to do. To work around that, you can send a simple text message to our system, and it will temporarily turn the filters off for you.
Online Shoppers - ever wonder why you can get such great prices? It's because your data is worth more than the thing you are about to score a super deal on. Shopping and coupon sites are some of the worst offenders of tracking. This may cause you frustration - first at the tool, then at the shopping companies for doing such bad things.
This tool is not perfect and will block things that are perfectly legal and/or safe. This tool may also miss blocking things that are super not legal or should be on the above lists. By using this tool, you're indemnifying The Doodle Project and its employees for your actions. We drop logs after 7 days. Data is stored and processed in the United States. Your data is not sold to or accessible by any other person or company. See our TOS/Privacy Policy for more.
PiHole is also not a panacea. It WILL NOT block everything. Some bad things will get through. You should ALWAYS treat this as a tool, not a solution - talk to your kids about the dangers of the above things. You can also request blocking of specific sites.
Get you a PiHole and block bad things. The cost is $5/home IP address/month billed annually. You can also purchase the service to protect your Android or iOS devices for $5/phone/month to protect you and your family when not at home. Bandwidth is not metered for this service. Purchase here.
One final note - this is not a VPN service - we are only rerouting your DNS queries, not all of your traffic!
