Hello everyone!

I have seen the Pi-Hole project (https://pi-hole.net/) which is a network-ad blocker that works extraordinarily well, compatible with Raspberry, Linux, etc....

Is it possible to port it to the fvdw-sl??? firmware?

Regards!!

Hi davilovic,

Yes that seems a nice feature.

But it can not be installed as an extra-feature (addons). Indeed I noted the bash script tries to install many packages whereas several features are always included in our firmware and requires also lighttpd (
# Pi-hole uses lighttpd as a Web server, and this is the config file for it
)

Currently we use apache server as web server.

So we need to do a manual install and several tasks to include it in the firmware. Then a big job which can not be done currently on my side :mrgreen:
