Hello everyone, I’ve been using Pi-hole for two days now and I must say it works incredibly well.

I’m running it on a Raspberry Pi 3B, which is otherwise not being used for anything else, and aside from the LAN cable, nothing else is connected to it. I’d like to install it as cleanly as possible on my router.

The problem is that the original power supply has a cable that’s too short. Is it possible to power the Raspberry Pi via the USB port of my router without risking a fire or functional issues?
