Despite the dirty title this blog post has, we think it would be fun to see how you have your Pi-hole® setup, so we have the following to give away:
Raspberry Pi Zero
Raspberry Pi ZeroW
Raspberry Pi 3
If you'd like a chance to win one, submit to us a picture of how you are using your Pi-hole.
Send your submissions to adblock@pi-hole.net with the subject "Showing off my Pi-hole"
Unfortunately, we have had some bad experiences in the past with running a contest, so we reserve the right to not to send out any prizes and modify this contest at our discretion. But if everyone plays nice, we'll pick our three favorites and they will each get a model of the Raspberry Pi mentioned above (you can only win one, not all three). We will also feature the winners in another blog post (if they want).
We'll also send out some Pi-hole stickers to anyone who came close to winning. If there aren't that many people that participate, we'll just send out stickers to everyone.
It´s really easy to do this. Let me explain how i did it:
-Open PuTTY
-In the Category "Session" (1) enter your Pi´s IP-Address (2)
-Give that Session the name "PiHole" (3)
-Save settings (4)
-In the Category "Window" (5) change Columns (6) to 60 and Rows (7) to 20
-Check "When window is rezized: Change the size of the font" (8)
-Uncheck "Display scrollbar in full screen mode (9)
-In the Category "Behaviour" (10) check "Ensure window is always on top" (11) and "Full screen on Alt-Enter" (12)
-In the Category "Colours" (13) click on "Cursor Colour" (14) and change RGB values all to 0 (15)
-Go back to the Category Session (1) and save again (4)
Now you are done with the PuTTY settings and you can close it.
-Right click on your Desktop, New, Create Shortcut
-Enter the following line into the text-field, change the path of your PuTTy-folder. The option "-load PiHole" loads your previous settings, made in PuTTY. The option "-ssh pi@192.168.0.3" enters user "pi" at the IP-Address of your Pi, of course you have to change it to YOUR IP-Address. The option "-pw PASSWORD" is YOUR LOGIN PASSWORD.
What I did now, is to assign a "Key-Sequence" to one of my programmable Keys on my G15-Keyboard. It automatically presses "CTRL + ALT + P" to start the shortcut, waits 2 seconds until the login is complete, enters "pihole -c" to the command line of the Pi and presses "ALT + ENTER" to maximize the window.
I hope everything is understandable for you ´cause english isn´t my native language
