Abstract
The instruments of advertising on the Internet are increasing. Advertisements may be a source of inconvenience and threats. This paper presents a comparison among three different tools for blocking advertisements, namely parental control tools, AdBlock Plus, and Pi-hole. This comparison aims to evaluate the effectiveness of these tools in blocking advertisements. The result showed that the Pi-hole is the most effective tool to block advertisements on the entire home network, while the other tools vary in the level of blocking advertisements on the network.
