AGH-239 Refresh DNS addresses after TLS config save Setup Guide rendered encrypted DNS addresses from the dashboard store, which was only filled on app start, so enabling encryption left the guide stale until a full reload. setTlsConfig now refreshes the dashboard DNS status after a successful save via a lightweight refreshDnsStatus that leaves the global processing flag, version/TLS/profile requests and reload-on-failure behavior of getDnsStatus alone.

Pi-Hole
(Server/ VM/ Pi)
pi-hole.net
Incredibly powerful, network-wide ad-blocker. Works out-of-the-box, light-weight with an intuitive web interface, but still allows for a lot of advanced configuration for power users. As well as blocking ads and trackers, Pi-Hole speeds up your network speeds quite significantly. The dashboard has detailed statistics, and makes it easy to pause/ resume Pi-Hole if needed.
