This kit will make a Raspberry Pi 3 act as a DNS (Domain Name Server) The kind of device... ## Pricing - **Price:** $139.95 (inc GST) — $127.23 AUD, exc GST - **Quantity discounts:** 10+ $123.41 (exc GST) · 50+ $120.86 (exc GST) ## Availability & dispatch - Out of stock — the product page offers email notification when it returns. ## How to buy - **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA3974:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart. - **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA3974:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.) - **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there. - **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description Tired of webpages that are chock-full of ads and malware - impossible to use? This kit will make a Raspberry Pi 3 act as a DNS (**Domain Name Server**) The kind of device that tells you that **adafruit.com** is known as IP address 104.20.38.240. Except, when Pi Hole DNS is installed, it will do a special trick, when it is asked for the IP address of *ads.adserver.com* (for example) it will return nothing! So you will never even connect to the ad server and get the ad. Your connection will be faster, less data, and no intrusive ads. It works great on computers, tablets, phones, etc. Even if you cannot run an ad-blocker plugin on your phone or tablet, this will work and ad-blocker-detectors can't tell you're running it. [We also have a guide and kit for using Pi-Hole with the Raspberry Pi Zero W](https://core-electronics.com.au/mini-ad-blocking-pi-hole-kit-with-pi-zero-wh-no-soldering.html) to send advertisements on your network into a black hole. But the PiOLED is *small,* and Adafruit want to monitor *more* statistics at a glance. While Adafruit could open the web console to monitor Pi-hole, Adafruit can't show that to friends easily. Plus, who doesn't want more shiny, blinky, networking hardware? Upgrade to this **Pi-Hole Ad Detection for Raspberry Pi and 2.8" PiTFT Kit!** **This pack does not contain a Raspberry Pi comptroller** - that's because you probably have one kicking around and maybe you want to pick one model over the other. Adafruit recommend [the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-3-model-b-armv8-with-1g-ram.html) - tried and true, this Pi works great and has both WiFi and Ethernet. You can also use a Pi 2 (doesn't have built-in WiFi so a dongle is required, or just stick to Ethernet). This requires installing [PADD](https://github.com/jpmck/PADD/wiki/FAQ) (Pi-hole Ad Detection Display) and [Pi-Hole](https://pi-hole.net/) on the Adafruit 2.8" PiTFT Plus to display useful and fun statistics such as *Amount of Pi-holed Advertisements,* and the top offending domain attempting to serve pesky advertisements to your network. [Follow along with Adafruit's learn guide to DIY your own!](https://learn.adafruit.com/pi-hole-ad-pitft-tft-detection-display) This pack includes everything *except* a Raspberry Pi - **No soldering required** - [PiTFT Plus Assembled 320x240 2.8" TFT](https://core-electronics.com.au/pitft-plus-320x240-2-8-tft-capacitive-touchscreen-assembled-pi-2-and-model-a-b.html) - one of the cutest little display for the Raspberry Pi.
