Sounds good. I'll have to look into installing Pihole on this
dinosaur.
I'm also in the process of setting up a PiHole server. In the reading I've done so far (and as I understand things), the Pihole server would block any DNS requests to the ad server itself. So, the ad would never be retrieved onto your network in the first place. Websites can detect if you have an ad-blocker extension in your browser and then present a page indicating such. Since you no longer need said browser extension there isn't a way that a given website could detect that you've blocked an ad.
At least that's my understanding. I'll let the web developers on the list chime in. :)

I have a question about these websites that block browsers with an ad blocker. How do they react if the computer I'm using uses Pi hole?

I decided to go with Pi-hole as I believe I can get the most benefit from that for my needs.

I've been offered a Raspberry P 3B+ with a POE hat, but am having difficulty deciding if I really need it. Currently the uses I can see for it within my home network are:
1. Ubiquiti controller (replacing a cloud controller);2. Pi hole;3. Tor relay node;4. Asterisk server.
Would appreciate some ideas for other possible uses.
