I just discovered this and it works fantastically on any old / unused android device you might have lying around, I was shocked at how easy it was, all the instructions are there, once you have it running all you need to do is set your router DNS settings to your pihole IP address and presto! Ads and trackers are gone!

    Nah, just install Blokada from fDroid. And use that old smartPhone for maybe an AlfredCamera surveillance. But the noBattery mod is useful anyway.

      I hear you, but I’m pretty happy with how this is working out, the advantage here is that it blocks ads and trackers for the whole network so it works on my wife’s devices without her having to do anything (which she wouldn’t anyway)
