I found there is a docker container of pihole which means it can run on anything including Windows! I tried it and it works in a docker container on windows just fine! pihole docker steps: (prereq: install docker https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop)

1.setup your docker-compose.yml file with the one listed on pihole page https://hub.docker.com/r/pihole/pihole/ (starts with version: '3').

2. save and do "docker-compose up -d"

3. do "docker ps" and ensure your pihole is running.

4. Go to network settings and set your DNS to 127.0.0.1 and ::1 like this: https://mayakron.altervista.org/wikibase/show.php?id=Acrylic...

5. if the docker container is ever stopped, you will need to reverse the setup step 4 to get back internet.

Hope that helps all you windows users who want a DNS blocker pihole on your machines!

I've been doing this for the past year or so.

couldn't run pihole network wide because too many shady "deal /discount" sites my girlfriend uses kept breaking, so this was my alternative.
