Works for me
Perhaps it's blocked for you.
Are you getting MITM’ed by your work WiFi or something? You should be able to connect to it securely. If that security handshake is failing for some reason, it’s a red flag that someone is likely mucking with your traffic.
My work's filter tagged the link as "Phishing". Seems suspicious. That said, it works fine on my personal device; got a valid certificate and everything.
Ive got a pi hole running, but I'm not sure if it's worth the hassle. To me it feels like it breaks more things than it helps.
I took fell into the 7 million sites blocked trap!
What issues do you have?

Anyone have recs for a site that I can pick up simple hardware for this purpose. Maybe not a pi but like a nuc? Or a refurbed.
Take an old PC or laptop out of the box-o-crap, install Ubuntu server, give it a fixed IP address, install pi hole with the one line command from their website, tell your regular PC that the laptop IP is your DNS server.
This is the easiest way to play around before rolling out to your whole network.
You can try refurb NUC or mini PC on Amazon with N100 that you can find easily between $150-$200 range.
eBay for NUC. Le potato for a pi alternative.
That was a great read. Really enjoyed that.
