So I reinstalled everything and the latest pihole just came with one adlist, about 250K entries.

I mostly just want to make sure we’re blocking adware and trackers but malware, crypto nonsense, etc… would be good too.

Thanks for suggestions.

    I read it as the tool helps maintain a dynamic list of adlists, it will help add and remove lists based on the configuration whereas if you just add a bunch of adlists yourself (like in the gui), pihole will monitor them for domain updates weekly but it’s always the same set of adlists.

      Ohhhhhhhhh, I see. Thanks!

      I’m definitely going to keep it simple, add a few lists manually now and then leave it alone.

        That’s how I started as well. You can always change it up later and whitelist/blacklist domains manually as you go.
