I like Pi-hole but it ended up causing more trouble than it was worth for me.
First, certain streaming websites would fail and it was too much trouble to try to find the URL to whitelist.
Then after I had disabled it from the Pi-hole interface everything was fine but it wasn't actually active. No problem...until I forgot my router was using it as a DNS server and I moved and didn't set my Pi up yet. Then it took me a couple weeks going back and forth with Comcast to find out that my router was still pointing to a DNS server that wasn't running.
Somehow my FireTV bypassed the bad DNS server at one point (still no idea how this happened cause my router was routing all traffic through the IP for pi-hole) and that made me realize that I can get data from Comcast somehow so maybe it really was my router.
