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
dnsmasqcan 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
dnsmasqare made available so you can see what's really happening on your network
The official FTLDNS documentation can be found here.
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.
