Add Block/Allowlists to the Pi-hole

The steps here use the pihole-updatelists script. The official pihole-updatelists documentation includes information about other configuration options if you prefer to use Docker or would rather avoid piping to bash.

Configure the Pi-hole to use a script from GitHub user jacklul to apply:

  1. Download and run the pihole-updatelists script:

    Terminal window
    wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jacklul/pihole-updatelists/master/install.sh | sudo bash

  2. Edit the configuration file to match:

    /etc/pihole-updatelists.conf
    ; Pi-hole's Lists Updater by Jack'lul
    ; https://github.com/jacklul/pihole-updatelists
    ; For a full list of available variables please see the readme.
