Newbie question
I've recently fell down the pihole and found out about how it can block ads and prevent tracking etc. It blew my mind. I was completely unaware about any of this and have a few very basic questions. Please excuse my ignorance. I don't have a background in this and would like to set this up for my home wifi.
I currently have the base router that came with home internet and that is plugged into the wifi that also came and was setup by the local internet company.
I've seen some people set up a home server and have pihole run on the server (router plugs into the server and wifi plugs into the server basically the server is in between the router and the wifi) and seen some people have their router plugged directly into their wifi without a server in between, but have a raspberry pi running as well. Is one more recommended than the other? Is there a difference?
This is more of a tangential question and not really a pihole question. Would there be a privacy reason to ditch the default router and get a different one?
Thank you so much. Thank you for your patience
