Use case

Pi-hole hosting,
without the Pi.

DNS-level ad-blocking that follows you everywhere. Pair Pi-hole on a Pulsar67 VPS with a WireGuard tunnel and every device - phone on LTE, laptop at a coffee shop, smart TV at home - gets the same clean DNS. From $3/mo.

Why move it off the Pi

Same Pi-hole, no SD card to die.

A Raspberry Pi 4 in your basement is a classic - until the SD card corrupts, your power flickers, or you leave for a week and your spouse asks why the Wi-Fi "broke."

Running Pi-hole on a VPS gives you the same dashboard, the same blocklists, the same per-client controls - plus uptime, snapshots, and protection that follows you off your home network. Add a WireGuard tunnel and your phone gets ad-free DNS on cellular too.

Block at the source

DNS-level filtering kills ads before the browser ever sees them. No browser plugin, no per-app rules.

Works on cellular too

Tunnel your phone through WireGuard and your DNS queries land at your Pi-hole - even on LTE.

The dashboard you love

Same Pi-hole UI, same blocklists (Hagezi, OISD, Steven Black). Per-client groups, query log, audit log.

Featherweight

Pi-hole sips RAM and CPU. Pulsar Nano can serve a household plus all their visiting phones.

Recommended plan

Pi-hole barely needs anything.

Most users will be at single-digit RAM usage. Nano is the right call unless you're combining it with other services.

Why Pulsar67

A DNS server that actually stays up.

NVMe = fast queries

Pi-hole's gravity database and FTL DNS both touch disk. NVMe means sub-millisecond resolution times.

99.9% uptime SLA

Your Pi could die. Your Pulsar67 VPS won't - we put it in writing.

Snapshot before tweaks

About to test a new blocklist? Snapshot first. Roll back if it nukes half the internet.

Your queries, private

We don't inspect your DNS. Your blocked-domain list is your business, not a product we sell.

Pulsar Nano + Pi-hole + WireGuard = ad-free DNS on every device, on every network, anywhere on earth.
