README
Network-wide ad blocking via your own Linux hardware
FTLDNS (`pihole-FTL`) provides an interactive API and also generates statistics for Pi-hole[®](https://pi-hole.net/trademark-rules-and-brand-guidelines/)'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](https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/hardware-software-requirements/273) 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
## Official documentation
The official *FTL*DNS documentation can be found [here](https://docs.pi-hole.net/ftldns/).
## Installation
FTLDNS (`pihole-FTL`) is automatically installed 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.
