I am interested in what happens when you get to a website that insists you turn off your ad blocker. What happens with Pi Hole? Also I would prefer to just run Privoxy as I have Ubuntu running and can just use that instead of some extra gadget. What happens with Privoxy if you are getting a turn off ad blocker message? Currently I use 'cat block' or the 'EFF' blocker, depending on what computer I am on, those give yo…

There is a firefox extension you can use to temporarily disable the PiHole blocking on your network with one click so you don't have to visit your PiHole webpage and do it manually.

You can disable blocking temporarily (a few seconds to a few minutes) in the PiHole dashboard.

That sounds rather inconvenient compared to the two-click option in uBlock Origin.

its literally a 2 click option in pi-hole.

It is actually incredibly easy if you use a password manager and have your local pi-hole credentials all saved. Maybe 4 clicks and I've disabled both my pi-holes (primary and backup) for 15 minutes.

I've been running 2 pi-holes for almost a year. I've been surprised at how well they work and how few sites have issues. I've only encountered 2 problems: 1) Administering Google Ads... Of course it needs to be disabled. 2) Oddly enough Lowes website has very odd online ordering issues unless you disable the pi-holes.

It's maybe a few extra seconds.

You could still shut down the initial DNS query for the dns-over-https provider and make it unreachable

Some people refuse devices that do not accept DHCP assigned DNS servers.[1] [1] https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/dnsop/WCVv57IizUSjNb2R...

You can also reroute port 53 traffic not from your internal dns server to your dns server...
