    Portmaster is a (great) local firewall, pi-hole is a dns-blackhole. Not an alternative in the slightest though.

    It has most the same features regarding a single host, but as it’s a software, you can take it with you wherever you go!

    Lovely local firewall, but surely no alternative to a self-hosted DNS-blackhole :)
