Comes as a "pre-configured pi-hole kit", too. Cased Raspberry with a wallwart,
and a SD card with Stuff(tm) onnit, at a guess. No idea if the price is
reasonable, didn't look.

Oi, I'm the last to nix the idea of compiling the pi-hole software for the old
PDP11 you have sitting there. Or a re-flashed router, or ...
But only if it is fun, and one wants to.
Tone needs an (ideally) off-the-shelf solution that prevents this "self-destruct
in 120 seconds" from happening again.
Then he can safely surf the net, buy a used PDP-11, etc. etc.
Wots the FOAK say to, for instance, Spybot Search and Destroy, which sets a
bunch of dodgy sites to "localhost" in the hosts files? Free, GUI, few clicks...
