“Delighted with the Pi-hole kit: was pretty easy to set up (once I'd found some online instructions for the case…) and I got the software up and running very easily once I'd plugged everything in. It's now chugging away happily as the DNS server for our household wifi – I will probably buy a second one as a backup at some point.
The one point I would raise for potential purchasers is that you do need to have some confidence in how to find and implement online instructions. No instructions are provided in the box, so I had to search for a YouTube video on how to install the Pi in the case. Similarly, you'll need to look online for instructions on how to set up Pi-hole on your Raspberry Pi. Don't expect a "plug-and-play" consumer product, is I guess what I'm saying.”
“This is SO easy to set up. Literally just put it in its case, plug in the peripherals and go. No need to download any ISOs because the SD card is already preloaded with the OS. Now that I have a mini server blocking all ads and malware for my home network I feel much safer. And am now considering using it as a VPN server so that I can feel safe everywhere I go.”
“Perfect. Exactly as expected, all parts included, easy to assemble and was up and running within minutes. Good quality alloy case with a thermal pad (to conduct heat from the processor to the heat sink case) was included.”
“I recently purchased the Official Pi-hole Raspberry Pi 4 Kit, and I can honestly say I’m thrilled with it! As someone who’s been meaning to set up a network-wide ad blocker for a while, I truly wish I’d bought this sooner. The kit has exceeded my expectations in both performance and ease of use.
The setup process was an absolute breeze. The kit comes with everything you need—Raspberry Pi 4, power supply, preloaded microSD card, and a sleek case. The included instructions were clear and straightforward, making it simple even for someone with minimal tech experience. I had Pi-hole up and running on my home network in under an hour, blocking ads and trackers across all my devices seamlessly.
What I love most is how effective Pi-hole is at creating a cleaner, faster internet experience. Page load times have noticeably improved, and those annoying pop-up ads are gone. The dashboard is intuitive, letting me monitor blocked requests and fine-tune settings with ease. It’s also great to know I’m adding an extra layer of privacy to my network.
My only minor gripe is that I didn’t jump on this sooner—years of dealing with ads could’ve been avoided! For anyone considering the Official Pi-hole Raspberry Pi 4 Kit, I highly recommend it. It’s user-friendly, powerful, and an absolute game-changer for your home network. Five stars!”
