Pi-hole: Block Ads on Your Entire Network is a practical, step-by-step guide to installing and running Pi-hole v6 on a Raspberry Pi, home server, Docker host, or Proxmox LXC container. Instead of configuring every phone, laptop, smart TV, and tablet one by one, you'll learn how to point your router at Pi-hole and protect the whole network from one place.

Inside, you'll find complete coverage of router and ISP gateway configuration, Docker port conflicts, safe blocklists, local DNS records, and Unbound for full DNS privacy, plus backups, monitoring, and the troubleshooting scenarios that usually trip people up.

Written for homelab beginners and home network enthusiasts, this guide focuses on clear commands, plain explanations, and \"what you should see\" checkpoints, so you always know when a step is working. Build a quieter, cleaner, more private network without browser extensions, per-device apps, or complicated enterprise tools.
