Versions:
Pi-hole Client 1.8.0, published by tsutsu3, is a lightweight desktop application that brings the power of the widely-used Pi-hole network-wide ad blocker from the browser to the Windows tray. Designed for users who already run a Pi-hole server on Raspberry Pi, Docker, or any Linux host, the program offers a convenient, always-visible dashboard that summarizes DNS queries, blocked domains, and client activity without requiring a browser tab to stay open. The tenth release in the utility’s short history, version 1.8.0 continues the steady cadence of updates that have refined its memory footprint, added dark-mode support, and broadened compatibility with Pi-hole v5 and v6 beta APIs. Typical use cases include quick glances at real-time blocking statistics, one-click temporary disabling of filtering for troubleshooting, and silent background monitoring that keeps administrators informed of unexpected spikes in blocked traffic. Because the client communicates exclusively over the Pi-hole API, it never interferes with the server’s operation and can safely connect to multiple Pi-hole instances for users who segment home, guest, or VLAN DNS traffic. The software fits squarely in the Network & Administration category, complementing rather than replacing the core Pi-hole server components. Pi-hole Client is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
