frankly speaking, I don't get it why pihole will cripple you speed, it just a dns server; try run dig google.com in CLI to see if there is any issue

I had a similar experience. It would be great if anyone has any theories as to WHY pihole breaks everything...

So glad I found this thread, I have been having other plex issues all week and finally got it sorted out, installed pihole yesterday and went to watch some shows as a family. Well after about the 100th freeze during the night my family all looked at me, with the "look" that goes beyond WAF and into FAF.

1. Install a supported operating system

You can run Pi-hole in a container, or deploy it directly to a supported operating system via our automated installer.

2. Install Pi-hole

Our intelligent, automated installer asks you a few questions and then sets everything up for you. Once complete, move onto step 3.

3. Use Pi-hole as your DNS server

Configure your router’s DHCP options to force clients to use Pi-hole as their DNS server, or manually configure each device​ to use the Pi-hole as their DNS server.

4. Block ads everywhere, even on the go

By pairing your Pi-hole with a VPN, you can have ad blocking on your cellular devices, helping with limited bandwidth data plans.

Our Team

The Pi-hole developers are spread across the globe and work on the project in their spare time. We are a 100% remote team.

Web Interface

In addition to blocking advertisements, Pi-hole has an informative Web interface that shows stats on all the domains being queried on your network.

Built-in DHCP Server

Pi-hole works fine with an existing DHCP server, but you can use Pi-hole’s to keep your network management in one place.
