My Pihole/Adguard DNS adblocker literally blocks about 1 000 requests a day for Windows 10 to "phone home" and send data to Microsoft. Shit is literally spyware
OK this is awesome. I won't upgrade my system at home because of how insidiously win 10 is and had often thought if I could block outgoing to MS related IPs that would rule. I'm definitely checking this out!
Yeah, here's the blocklist I use to block windows tracking personally. Not sure if it's the most effective, but blocking 1000 requests a day seems good

Can you by any chance post a guide on this? I have an extra raspberry pi that I'd like to use this for. Especially blocking windows request.

In my experience Adguard home is easier to install, and has compatibility with more blocklist formats, so that's why I use it.
Do you have a recommendation for the PI hardware? Thinking I need to do this today
I don't use a raspberry pi, I use an old laptop that also does a bunch of other networking stuff, so no unfortunately
Thanks anyway. I ended up getting a pi3 1G model and it's up and pieholing so everything is awesome. Cheers!
Nice!
