Dropkick Google with Pi-Hole On Your Network
Resource

from https://www.old.reddit.com/r/degoogle/comments/e9ryy0/dropkick_google_with_pihole_on_your_network/

Greetings fellow De-Googlers. Today, as we crest over the 20k mark in membership, I’d like to talk about a tool you can use in your fight against intrusive corporations like Google. I’m talking about a great project called Pi-Hole. Some of you may be familiar with Pi-Hole, while to others this may be new information. If it’s new information, I’m happy to report there is a sub right here on Reddit just for Pi-Hole ( r/pihole ). The mods there are very helpful with any problems you may encounter along the way with this project.

Before I go any further, I’d like to point out that Pi-Hole is open source software, available for free on their website at https://pi-hole.net/. However, I would like to encourage users to donate to this worthy cause and become a Patron of the project.

In a nutshell, Pi-Hole is a Raspberry PI project that acts as an ad blocker. Unlike browser based ad blockers that you may be used to such as uBlockOrigin, Pi-Hole works at the DNS level.

You can run Pi-Hole in a Docker container, deploy directly in conjunction with Raspbian on a Raspberry Pi Zero W, or deploy in conjunction with Centos, Fedora, or Debian or an old desktop running Ubuntu. There are even some folks running Pi-Hole on an old laptop. For all the features of Pi-hole and for what it does, it doesn’t require a lot of overhead to run.

I won’t go into recreating the installation procedures, but I can tell you that with limited tech savvy, anyone can have this set up and running in an afternoon.

So how does this all tie into De-Googling I hear you ask. One of the great features of Pi-Hole is it’s ability to use custom block lists. These block lists contain hundreds of domain names that you don’t want accessing your network. Here is one such list that completely blocks Google and it’s many domains from your network:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nickspaargaren/pihole-google/master/pihole-google.txt

Nick Spaargaren maintains this list and his GitHub is located at:

https://github.com/nickspaargaren/pihole-google

If we were to take a peek inside this particular block list, we can see all the domains it will block from your network:

www.googleanalytics.com
click.googleanalytics.com
ssl.googleanalytics.com
www.google-analytics.com
cctldtest.google-analytics.com
click.google-analytics.com

…..and hundreds more! With a couple clicks of the mouse, you can just about eradicate Google from your network as if it didn’t exist. There are tons of other lists that are available for Pi-Hole that will block all manner of things from your network. For now we are concentrating on the Google aspect.

In closing, I will leave you guys with some links to get you started on your way to a Google free, intrusion free network using Pi-Hole.
