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!

    Build a proper router with PF sense. I can do everything that pie hole can do, and more, and you get to have fully custom eternally upgradable router software in general that you can use to do things like network scanning and all sorts of other fun stuff.

    I briefly used the raspberry pi for that purpose, but honestly I’m much happier having built a full router.
