It "just worked" on Ubuntu.
No luck with CentOS 7 on Vultr.
Debian 9 on Vultr worked perfectly.
I think that they are a bit ambitious on their list of OSes that work with that script
-
I'm on Vultr as well.

I personally never took a look at the project because I thought it only worked with a Pi...
Bad name really...

Horrible name. It's funny, but makes no sense.

Pi-hole will run on most Debian-based distro's and is the preferred platform for it.
We officially support the following:
Raspbian: Jessie (lite / with pixel)
Ubuntu: 14.04 / 16.04 / 16.10
Fedora: 24 / 25
Debian: 8.6
CentOS: 7.2.1511 / 7.3.1611 -
It's working on 17.04.

I just installed in on Fedora 25. Installer is expecting ifcfg-eth0 (or whatever your interface is) file in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and if that doesn't exists, it fails. I touched that file and installation went smooth.

I run it at home and it is awesome! My friend who is a tech director for a small school district (800 total users) 450 machines runs it at the school and it has been a lifesaver for him.
-
@penguinwrangler I bet! The school is a prefect place for this!

What does he run it on? RPi? Actual server?

@nerdydad I believe he has it on a virtual machine. Ubuntu 16.04 I believe. 1 vCPU and 1GB of Memory 20GB Hard Drive. The addition of Fedora and CentOS is relatively new. When it first started they didn't have them as an option, and actually, Raspbian was the only supported OS at the very beginning.

The biggest win with this is mobile ads. Many mobile sites are practically unusable with Ads.

That's pretty nice. And it's all so easy, just happens on your network transparently once you add it to DHCP.
-
Damn. Now I'm going to have to try it at the house. Looks like a winner.

In a way, you did. The stats that I am seeing suggests that it is a little like getting an 8% boost!

Very cool product, will have to check it out. Looks easy to use and the graphs are just neat.

I assume that's I can specify the forwarders that this will use? Because I am using strongarm.io and so not want to lose that service.
