Readme
Network-wide ad blocking via your own Linux hardware
FTLDNS™ (
pihole-FTL) provides an interactive API and also generates statistics for Pi-hole®'s Web interface.
-
Fast: stats are read directly from memory by coupling our codebase closely with
dnsmasq
-
Versatile: upstream changes to
dnsmasq
can quickly be merged in without much conflict - Lightweight: runs smoothly with minimal hardware and software requirements such as Raspberry Pi Zero
- Interactive: our API can be used to interface with your projects
-
Insightful: stats normally reserved inside of
dnsmasq
are made available so you can see what's really happening on your network
Official documentation
The official FTLDNS documentation can be found here.
Installation
FTLDNS (
pihole-FTL) is installed by default when you choose to enable the Web interface when installing Pi-hole.
IMPORTANT!
FTLDNS will disable any existing installations of
dnsmasq. This is because FTLDNS isdnsmasq+ Pi-hole's code, so both cannot run simultaneously.
