Upgraded all four of my pihole instances to v6. They’re working perfectly!
I love how a bunch of the “advanced” settings are now available from the UI. It makes initial set up so much easier.

Giving the Pi-hole client for Windows a try.
winget install tsutsu3.Pi-hole-client
with PDA (and 
) #pihole6 runs smoothly and my #raspberry_pi 3 is bored. Add a new aluminium case, so the temperatur is good.
Pi-hole released v6, and looks like a lot of improvements! Had some issues with HTTPS, so I used https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/pi-hole-v6-using-http-instead-of-https/67098/9 to help get HTTP working again.

Be careful if you are using Pi-hole with a wildcard. By default, Pi-hole 6 ignores the /etc/dnsmasq.d/02-my-wildcard-dns.conf 
. All my services were down. It took me a quick search to find the solution.
Go web interface in Settings > All setting (advanced mode). Click on Miscellaneous tab, find dnsmasq. I can use the orignal file or the interface.

#Pihole heeft zojuist een major update gekregen.
Dit stukje #OpenSource software houdt al jaren mijn huis en gezin vrij van trackers, ads en ander internetgespuis.
Deze week alweer bijna 20% van al het internetverkeer geblocked.
Geen huis zou zonder moeten zijn...
