This ensures that you are always protected against the latest advertising techniques or potential security risks.

Furthermore, Pi-hole is free to use, making it accessible to anyone who wants to take control of their online privacy without incurring any additional costs.

Pihole YouTube

Special note about YouTube Ad blocking and Website/Service blocking in general

YouTube Ads are served from the same domain as the YouTube videos so its very difficult to reliably block YouTube Ads with DNS filters without breaking the video feeds. Google has thousands of Ad serving domains and new ones are added weekly, maybe even daily. We could configure Pi-hole to block YouTube Ads today but it might stop blocking them next week when YouTube (Google), change the servers.

The Pi-hole community is working on a YouTube Ad block list so maybe its only a matter of time before we get reliable YouTube Ad blocking. 

Always keep in mind that Pi-hole is a DNS blocker and certain legit sites or services that track and collect telemetry data may experience issues. These sites could include streaming services or other legit sites. The solution is to whitelist them or whitelist the part of the service the Pi-hole is blocking. The blocks can easily be seen and whitelisted from the Pi-hole dashboard. A guide will be provided.
