Should I setup pi hole?

Can‘t go wrong with that

No

@grumpyoldaf could explain why,

Main concern is blocking domains that I might need or it just overall being buggy.

If your blocking for entire network, sure.

If your just blocking for your self, use ublock or something.

@Alice yea, ublock for laptops, adBlock for iOS... I do enjoy the Ad-less world.

No. I don't mind ads

get a real computer and install pf-sense
https://www.pfsense.org

also, your raspi with pihole would be a bottleneck if you've got a fast internet connection as the ethernet is capped to 600mbs.

@heyheni I'd be really confused if you resolved so much DNS that you need a 600mbit port.

sorry for spreading missinformation :(

but doesn't get all the traffic get routed through pihole in order to get filered? I have a fiber 1 gigabit connection so i'm worried that the 600mbs raspi network speed is too slow?

No

shut your pi hole!

seriously now, try privoxy too

1. Yes
2. Absolutely
3. Do it now

@iamroot that's no big deal, you can whitelist domains.

@irene bcz I don't want it. And the OP did not express any interest in it either [only asked whether he should]. Then why bother..

Do you need to load ads due to work stuff?

Only if you don't like adverts and bring tracked by everyone. After almost a year I still get amazed to see on some days as much as 50% of my dns requests being blocked.

@mundo03 not specifically but I do works with Google ads now and then

Follow your dreams, just do it.

Yes. Maybe when advertising/data collection companies would give easy opt-in methods and would start to actually handle the collected data secure and wouldn't try to track the living shit out of me, I'd consider not blocking stuff...
