Download Pi-hole Core 5.17 / Web 5.20 / FTL 5.23

Version 5.17 from Pi-hole Core it came out. Also be Pi hole Web 5.20 and Pi hole FTL 5.23 appeared. Pi-hole is an advertising-aware DNS and web server intended to run on a Raspberry Pi in the network. If the router points to Pi-hole for DNS handling, all devices within the network will automatically use it without having to adjust any settings. Subsequently, advertisements are no longer retrieved, causing pages to load faster. It can also potentially keep malware out. For more information, we refer you to the explanation and videos on this pageor this manual from tweaker jpgview. The changelog for this release can be found below.
