[Pi-hole®](https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole) is a popular RPi-based project that blocks ads network-wide by creating a DNS sinkhole. There have been several discussions around integrating RaspAP with Pi-hole, with the end goal of hosting a complete AP and ad-blocker on a single device. This is possible with a few modifications, essentially giving permission to Pi-Hole to manage `dnsmasq` leases.

**Important:** Take note that it's possible to overwrite your manual changes to `dhcpcd.conf` with RaspAP's [default configuration](https://github.com/billz/raspap-webgui/tree/master/config), depending on which functions you use in the UI. **Important:** Take note that it's possible to overwrite your manual changes to `dhcpcd.conf` with RaspAP's [default configuration](https://github.com/billz/raspap-webgui/tree/master/config), depending on which functions you use in the UI.
Also, be aware that external WiFi adapters (ie, USB "dongles") vary greatly in terms of hardware capabilities and driver support. Many are of poor quality and not worth the trouble. Please [read this](https://github.com/billz/raspap-webgui/wiki/Reporting-issues) before reporting a bug. Also, be aware that external WiFi adapters (ie, USB "dongles") vary greatly in terms of hardware capabilities and driver support. Many do not work out of the box on the RPi, require a powered USB hub, manual driver and/or firmware installation or are otherwise [not well suited for the RPi](https://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters).

### <a name="monitor"></a>Can I use RaspAP as a monitor only, without changing my configuration? ### <a name="monitor"></a>Can I use RaspAP as a monitor only, without changing my configuration?
Yes, RaspAP has support for a so-called "monitor mode". In `config.php` change the setting `RASPI_MONITOR_ENABLED` to `true`. This disables the ability to modify settings, start/stop daemons, shutdown or reboot the RPi. RaspAP will continue to report interface statistics, service settings and data usage as normal.
