I've wanted to do this for some time, but everyone tells me there's no way to make it work without constantly updating the blacklist. Is it really such a hassle?

You can install community blacklists on it that it automatically downloads each day.

Here’s a popular set of lists that allows you to pick which lists you want. https://github.com/blocklistproject/Lists

You run into issues where the website detects what you're doing and blocks your access? It happens if I use ad blocking through my vpn.

It's happens sometimes but I must say, not very often. I could probably count on one hand how many times that have happened through my many years of using pihole.

[–] dantheclamman@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

If you have a significant other, they will discover said instances after about 5 minutes using the pihole and you'll hear about it. I think it's a kind of law of home networking.

Yeah, my wife works in social media. We have to let ads in.
