I had to put my pihole on a brake for a while. I had it installed on a raspberry pi 3 and it destroyed 2 SD cards in a month. Now it just runs piVPN and all is well.
Gonna reinstall next time I get a newer raspberry.
Also consider outside your home too - either permantly VPNing back through your home network, or (ie for Android) Tracker Control, which will block most ad / sdk / geo trackers that it knows about.
The Pi-Hole itself is very straightforward if you’re cool with using docker - the example docker-compose.yaml on Docker Hub just worked for me. But getting your devices to use the Pi-Hole instead of their usual DNS server can be harder than it should be.
This post prompted me to finish setting up my Pi-Hole.

I have zero social media apps or games on my phone but my pihole is still getting a hell of a workout. This is nuts.

I should set one up. Is it a huge pain in the ass?
