Download Pi-hole Core 5.0

Version 5.0 of Pi-hole has been released. Pi-hole is an advertising-aware dns and web server intended to run on a Raspberry Pi in the network. If Pi-hole is referenced on the router for dns handling, all devices on the network will automatically use it without having to adjust any settings. Ads are then no longer fetched, causing pages to load faster. It can potentially also keep malware at bay. For more information, we refer you to the explanation and videos on this page, or this manual from tweaker jpgview.
