> Securing a Network Using A Raspberry Pi: A Practical Cybersecurity Project (EPQ)

For my EPQ (Extended Project Qualification), I explored the use of Ad-Blockers and VPNS. To do this i put Headscale-Admin and Pi-Hole on a Raspberry Pi.

For this I had to report on my process of creating this artefact and an evaluation of its effectiveness using both qualitative and quantitative data. This will be linked when the grade for the project is finalised.
