    One of the Pi-hole dev's here. The comment you are replying to is talking about the blog post about this CVE, not Pi-hole's aesthetics. (Which haven't changed, btw) Say hi to J fro…

    Hi there, one of the Pi-hole Devs here. This is something we are very much looking into. Take a look at this PR[1] for more details! No ETAs as yet, of course, but it's something t…

    That post is 2 years old, and the op understood and was ok with the outcome... Oobe is either 1)leave suggested defaults as is 2)don't use those lists. Option 2 is available in the…

    Hmmm, not sure I recall. Mind linking back to the conversation? Point is, we don't choose what domains are blocked or not, so there is nothing we can do except ship with a default …

    As commented below, we don't actually maintain any of the lists, so that wasn't us you spoke to! You can configure the lists that you use to suit your needs. You can also whitelist…

    There is a disable button on the web interface[1] which allows you to either disable it permanently, or for a specific amount of time. Of course, client devices need to clear their…

    Exactly that! The name has just kind of stuck, even though you can in fact run it on most linux distros (We officially support Ubuntu/Debian based distros, but there is limited sup…

    You can always review the code for yourself over on our github repo ( https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole )! As well as the devs, there are so many pairs of eyes on the code that if…

    We have a web interface with a whole host of tools to easily identify and whitelist the domains that may or may not be causing issues with sites you browse. Everyone's mileage vari…

    Pi-hole Dev here. The only domains added to the whitelist are the domains on which the source lists are themselves hosted. It's probably complete over-kill, but the reasoning behin…
