Raspberry Pi for your home network

The Raspberry Pi can provide a great deal of functionality to your home network.  Here are some uses I recommend:

1. Encrypted DNS
   So your ISP can't log what sites you visit and sell this data to marketers
2. Ad Blocking
   Significantly speed up browsing for all your home devices
3. Encrypted FTP
   Securely send and receive large files with friends and business partners
4. Route 53 Dynamic DNS
   So your FTP address (ftp.domain.tld) always points to your public IP
