[Pi-Hole](https://pi-hole.net/) is a very nice application the removes a huge amount of advertisement from your webpages and other applications.  
Running on a Raspberry pi it's a simple and cheap solution.

But sometimes you want to click on the advertisements after a google search. For this moment you need to disable Pi-hole for a short moment. This disabling is possible from the Pi-hole dashboard, but also from within the Nr-dashboard with this simple flow.

In the HTTP request node you have to change the IP address to you Pi-hole server address. Here you can also change the duration in seconds.  
For the authenticaion you need to fill in your Pi-hole password, you can find it in your **/etc/pihole/setupVars.conf** file.  
Copy the data from the WEBPASSWORD line.
