Title: (Beginner) Deploying Pi-hole: More Than an Ad Blocker
Description:
Pi-hole is a popular open source DNS server that can block ads network-wide, before they even reach your browser. As it effectively functions as a DNS sinkhole, Pi-hole can be configured to securely handle DNS requests for your network devices and automatically block not just ads, but a variety of malicious traffic. This workshop will walk you through how to quickly deploy Pi-hole to protect your home network or in a lab environment. A Raspberry Pi is optional; a Docker container, lightweight virtual machine, or even an old computer will work just fine.
This hands-on workshop will cover the following training outline:
* Intro to Pi-hole
* Main features and latest features in the brand new 5.0 release
* Deployment options * Network design and DNS/DHCP considerations
* HA/failover considerations
* Initial install and configuration
* Using blacklists and whitelists
* Viewing metrics and logs
* What's next? Advanced features and possibilities
