Abstract

This study aimed to design an ad-blocker which would run widely on the whole network and block the ads from the web pages of any web site. To define it properly, a small computer with a SoC (System on Chip) which is widely regarded as Raspberry Pi is used and it is connected to the home network, the network for which we have to block the ads. Software called Pi Hole is used to filter the web pages with ads on the home network. So, after this all the devices say, smart phones, laptops, PCs are connected to this home network. Then these devices are pointed to the Pi and the Network Traffic through devices now go through the Pi. So, eventually the ads get filtered out in the Raspberry Pi even before reaching the use r’s devices. This setup will only work when your devices are connected to the network on which the Raspberry Pi is running. This decreases the latency and increase the browsing speed of any browser by cutting out the extra data these ads take up while loading a web page. Also the user can add a set of websites or a bunch of web pages to be white listed on the Pi Hole software, disabling the ad block over these particular websites or web pages
