## What Jamie wrote

This is a great overview of the amazing impact that [Pi-hole](https://pi-hole.net) can have on your entire network. I ran a Pi-hole for a long time and it was great to have privacy protection and ad blocking network wide. However, I ultimately ended up removing it. I can’t recommend the Pi-hole because the way it works is to break certain types of requests. Usually that doesn't create a problem, but sometimes it makes websites not work. And when it does, it is nearly impossible for a non-technical user to know what is going on.
