DNS Blocking with a Pi-Hole
Streaming media is causing, by far, the most DNS queries with a Roku that gets used perhaps 2 hours a day showing almost 2x the queries. The 2nd offender is our Plex Media Server, which is used for storage and LAN streaming. We don’t watch content directly on that system. The 3rd offender is an Amazon Fire 8HD tablet. That tablet has been rooted and has a huge adblocking and “bad guys” /etc/hosts file, so most of those DNS queries shouldn’t show up on the Pi-Hole at all. Without that hosts file, I can only imagine how many “phone home” requests it would send to Amazon and Amazon partners.
