Pi-Hole is software that runs on linux. It basically acts as a domain name proxy, and uses various lists of known domain names to compare all domain requests against. Any domain requests that match domains on the list get dropped.
Generally people run it on some kind of linux device, whether a server of some type, or a stand alone linux machine. Rasberry Pi is one of those low powered single circuit board computers that only costs $20, and can run linux, so that is what I do. I run pi-hole on top of it.
