I want to use pi-hole and it comes highly recommended to use raspberry pi to cover the house and have an always on capability. I started looking at just starter packages at Amazon and they don’t come with a monitor, which it looks like you need. How do I do this? I want a raspberry pi to run pi-hole to protect my house.

Edit: Thank you all so much for the tips and all the different ways to get this up and going , I am officially on my pi-hole journey!

    If you already have a computer that is always on, just run pihole in docker.

    Also, you can run pihole on another low-power SBC if getting a pi is too hard or expensive.

    Or use nextdns.io (pretty good free tier) and skip having to run your own pihole.

    Personally I run two piholes in docker on two computers I always have powered on, and use nextdns when I’m away from home (easy to set up using their app).
