 Pi-hole by default installs **lighttpd** as its web-server.  This **lighttpd** server usually handles and web traffic to Port 80, and the admin dashboard for pi-hole can be accessed using the IP of the device it is installed on, such as http://192.168.1.25/admin/.
-But with NginX installed onto this device, means that it is actually NginX that would process any web traffic to Port 80; and therefore this would result in a conflict in that lighttpd would not be able to process Port 80 as well.
+But with **NginX** installed onto this device, means that it is actually NginX that would process any web traffic to Port 80; and therefore this would result in a conflict in that lighttpd would not be able to process Port 80 as well.
 The solution is to keep lighttpd running on an alternate port (such as 81) and let NginX proxy all requests to pi-hole to that port.
