2 posts were split to a new topic: pihole-FTL is working, but webmin says the service is not running
Will this new method support sending data to a system like ELK (Elastic, Logstash, Kibana) for further analysis? It sounded like there would not be logging like the past therefore less data available for ELK or Splunk.
Not a really important issue from the UI perspective - When you mouse over the Clients(over time) chart the pop up that displays the IP's get hidden if there are more than 3. A bit annoying that you cannot see the IP's that are causing issues since it's not sorted by high traffic IP
When version 3.3 was released and all the issues starting to show up because of DNSMASQ ?
Basically the date of this Blog entry : Pi-hole v3.3 Released: It’s “Extra” Special – Pi-hole
I am runnig Jessie actually 
Also have a Unify Controller running on it and everything works together just fine!
That's why you guys need to add FreeBSD support : No more silly Debian issues unless you switch to Ubuntu, which has it's own quirks and issues
Then consider using a different brand or a slightly larger one so it can spread the usage of it's cells
Well, a combination of a Pi-hole application and an own DNS server sounds perfect.
Is that the meaning of FTLDNS ? Am I right ?
Will the external DNS providers like Google, the internet provider, Norton, etc be skipped and the router has to ask FTLDNS for the external traffic ?
Yes, exactly.
Nothing will be different from your current perspective because FTLDNS is just our fork of dnsmasq. So instead of installing dnsmasq, FTLDNS gets installed.
Your Pi-hole will contact whatever upstream DNS server you select, same as it always has.
Stay tuned for some exciting news about this to be released, soon.
