Info on my Pi-Hole is consolidated on this page.

• win32diskimager
• pi-hole @ github
• Remote access to the RPi using putty for Windows.

What i did...

1. Copied 2015-11-21-raspbian-jessie.img to the micro-sd card, using win32diskimager.
2. After first boot, i configured the WiPi USB interface so it would connect to my Wireless network. I did this from the GUI.
3. The i opened a Terminal window on top of the GUI. This might put unnessesary strain on the RPi, but for now it doesn't matter :-)
4. Then i followed Jacob Salmela's guide: "Setting It Up (The Easy Way)"

The DHCP server running on my ISP provided SHOH Router/Wireless Accesspoint cannot be disabled or changed in it's settings, so i will have to manually point my devices to the PiHole DNS server... :-/ If IPv6 is annoying you on the WIndows OS disable it correctly !

chronometer.sh for putty

This is my version of the chronometer.sh script. /usr/share/figlet does not contain small font and i would like to rearrange the stuff a tiny bit.

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Displays Pi-hole stats on the Adafruit PiTFT 2.8" touch screen
# Set the pi user to log in automatically and run this script from /etc/profile
