In plain words
Unop is a WiFi extender and router built on Raspberry Pi hardware that filters DNS traffic across a network to block ads. It combines wireless networking capabilities with built-in ad-blocking functionality, allowing users to extend their WiFi coverage while simultaneously filtering unwanted content for all connected devices. It is designed for users who want centralized ad-blocking without installing software on individual devices.

The Pi-hole project is fantastic. It lets you easily set up an ad blocker on your home network to reduce both intrusive tracking and data usage. With people using home internet connections all day, this is more important than ever. However, it does suffer from some limitations. To fix these problems I have mine set up as a WiFi repeater / range extender. This improves WiFi coverage, allows switching between the unfiltered / filtered connections and forces all traffic through the filter from devices that try to evade it. I’ve named this project the Chambord 1 Pi-hole. You can skip ahead for the guide on how to make your own but if you want a more detailed pitch then read on.…from unop.uk
