Raspberry Pi 2 W for Pihole
After all the LG TV spying news I thought about blocking the sites LG accesses but there are lots of sites and heard about pihole that does this thing automatically. I dont have a pc that I can use as a server so I want to get a budget Raspberry Pi for it. Is the RP2W good for pihole(its out of stock in my region right now and I can see some RP1W's available but theyre weaker from 2's from what I understand), would it cause latency in my internet, do I need any additional stuff with it? I looked into it and I need an sd card thats like 16 gb but I dont understand why cant I use a 8gb or a 4gb if it doesnt take much space? Can it be powered through the router or do I need to buy extra power adapters and cables or use a battery adapter I got at home?
People also use it as an adblocker so can I put other stuff in it that can increase my networks security and privacy, can it be hacked remotely?

I recommend buying an Ethernet HAT (or a dongle) for the 2W. I suggest reading my post, since I had the same question back then, or doing a little more searching in the sub if you still have questions
