Software update: Pi-hole 2.9

Pi-hole is an advertising-aware dns and web server intended to run on a Raspberry Pi in your network. When a request comes in to resolve an ad domain, Pi-hole will redirect it to itself so that your client doesn’t make any connection with the ad network. For more information, we refer you to the explanation and videos on this page. The developers have released version 2.9 with the following changes:

Version 2.9

• [NEW] – A much requested update method! Updating to 2.9 will require you use the standard install method one last time, but for future releases, the script will detect existing installs and not force you to have to enter all the settings again! Also added the command pihole -up to update everything from the command line with no prompts at all, so you can automate it if you like! #625
• [NEW] – pihole -q. Want to know what list a blocked domain is coming from? Run pihole -q to find out! #636
