If I make a config file change, do I have to restart anything?

I was noticing devices being added that don't exist on my network anymore (phones from a guest who is not here anymore). I delete them, but they come back. I guess this is because I have it using Pi-hole network table as secondary source So I edit the config to turn that off, but do I have to restart anything? I ask, because the devices keep coming back!

SUGGESTION: be able to blacklist a device by MAC address

I think you must deactivate DHCP method.

Blacklist will be available in future version.

I found that if I start out using either the Pi-hole network table or DHCP method, and then turn them off, devices are still left in the Pi.Alert tables where that info is copied into.

I had to add a DELETE statement to each function if the config was off to clear those tables

`

def copy_pihole_network ():

# check if Pi-hole is active

if not PIHOLE_ACTIVE :

    sql.execute ("DELETE FROM PiHole_Network")

    return

`

`

def read_DHCP_leases ():

# check DHCP Leases is active

if not DHCP_ACTIVE :

    sql.execute ("DELETE FROM DHCP_Leases")

    return
