You can change things on a device by device basis (perhaps just your work laptop or kids’ tablets) to suit your needs.

#RASPBERRY PI AD BLOCKER UPDATE#

You can visit the post-install documentation provided on the Pi Hole website to follow along and update your network configuration settings as you wish. Once you’re happy, the next step is to configure your network, router and devices to send and receive traffic from Pi Hole, instead of their usual source.

You probably won’t need to regularly visit the admin site beyond updating the ad lists here and there or viewing reports (if you’re mad for stats). Take a look around and familiarise yourself with the interface and the various settings.

#RASPBERRY PI AD BLOCKER PASSWORD#

Visit your admin URL and login with the password Pi Hole gave you.

So, in the example I tested, I was given: Now you’ve got your shiny new Pi Hole box set up and ready to be used, the first step is to log into the admin interface and have a look around.ĭuring the installation, you’ll have been given a specific URL to your own admin interface, but it generally looks like this:

Eventually, the installation will complete and you’ll be set back into the console.ģ.

Important – make a note of your admin password that Pi Hole provides!.

Click OK and accept the rest of the defaults.

The IP should be the same as the one shown in the Bytemark panel – this is important as it’s how you’ll access the admin interface later and what you’ll use across your network.

Double check the DHCP and IP settings and information.

It’s fine to accept the defaults for now – they can be changed later.

Follow the instructions, clicking OK where needed.
