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

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 is dnsmasq + Pi-hole's code, so both cannot run simultaneously.
