You can just run Bind with an adblock hosts file to get the same effect. I'm using this https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts it also includes malware servers and other stuff you can choose to block.
Thanks for the hosts file :^)
I don't understand why someone is over-engineering simple files as that, it's like a one-liner to just git clone the repo and overwrite /etc/hosts with whatever it's in there..

Because the hosts file then gets really big.
In a previous post, I shared using dnsmasq. That approach allows using these big hosts files while keeping the system hosts file small and manageable.
I have 274111 sites blocked in my big file.

"Seems"? I've been using dnsmasq in this manner for many years. I started in my dial-up days. I still block everything and anything. When I use a web browser outside the home I become like the proverbial deer in the headlight beam -- I just freeze because of the clutter and noise.

Same here. But I've been using a combo of hosts and browser ad blocker. I made the mistake of browsing on a friends PC and was overwhelmed by all the ads. My home network has grown quite a bit since the last time I posted in this thread so when PROBLEMCHYLD brought it back up, it looks more appealing now.
EDIT:
So I started looking at a source build of Pi-hole, and the Python runs DEEP.
but the script its NOT letting me go any further with a line 1578: yum: command not found.
I think we might have to revise the script, which is above my pay-grade!!!.........

They don't have a script for Slackware, hence why I am going the source route that I said a few posts ago. But the Python dependencies run pretty deep and will take some time to sort it out.
Please know that I am building everything from scratch, in python3, and for personal use. But I will share the SlackBuilds when I am finished, just keep in mind that there will be conflicts with SBo packages because I name ALL my own Python libraries like: python3-$PRGNAM

Much appreciated. I will test your scripts and maybe we can coincide.
I would like to dumb-down php and remove alpine since it is already installed (unless it is really needed like that to build) and probably make it version specific.
If you have a GitHub account I can add you by your username there.
NOTE:
pi-hole-ftl needs work first. Look in /new and see what's in there. There is going to need a user/group at least. Those files are for reference only.

I can't reproduce. The only dhcp.c in my log is as follows:
