Re: [PLUG] Pi-Hole v6 working?

[Frank via plug <plug@lists.phillylinux.org>]

Yup, I'm using it right now.  Unfortunately, though, I'm new to it, so I 
doubt I can help any more than acknowledging that it works for me.  I 
installed it, changed no settings, and it just worked.

I'm running it on Ubuntu and Linux Mint machines (I have a few different 
vLANs).
