@bbigford They have a "Storage Instance" tab that is always sold out, I was lucky enough to grab one like 6 months ago. They've been sold out every time I've logged in since then.
They are SO popular.
I got one a few months ago after checking several times a day, for months.

You can set up an email alert so that you know as soon as they are available. That's why the people without those alerts never see the option.

I never once saw an alert and I setup 2 different addresses. LOL

This is how I got mine too, although it only took me like a week. I signed up for the notifications multiple times and never once got an email from them.

The UI looks very similar to Snipe-IT

PiHole really is great, definitely worth the $2.50/$5 a month.

Gaming community (everything but gameservers: Auth, Profile, Game content (mods), Mod management (auto update/patch database), gameserver management, ...)
Was going to look at doing something like this when we were doing Arma3.

In the case where you are using Windows AD, would you just put your DNS servers' forwarders as the Pi-hole server?

Sadly for a lot of people, no web interface.
It broke and nothing seems to brnig it back. Works fine, just no interface.

That's really weird. I am surprised that it is not repairable.

Probably is, only put so much time into it. But the forums had lots of people with the issue and no clear fixes.

Yeah, I guess I meant as a bug fix.

Not sure, this is my ONE workload on Ubuntu.

@wrx7m My friend runs two piholes in his school district. Cuts down on so much crap for him.

I've been searching for their storage instance alert. Where did you even find that on their site?

I love PiHole. I run it as a vm locally at home. It amazes me how much it blocks.
