Download Pi-hole Core 5.2

Version 5.2 of Pi-hole Core has been released. Also be Pi-hole Web 5.2 and FTL 5.3 hatched. Pi-hole is an advertising-aware dns and web server intended to run on a Raspberry Pi in the network. If the router references Pi-hole for dns handling, all devices on the network will automatically use it without any settings being required. 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 pageor this manual from tweaker jpgview. The changelog for this release looks like this:
