Error with dnsmasq, bad option at line 44

This tutorial is outdated. We're not using the system-provided dnsmasq since over one year by now. Instead, we ship our own DNS server (pihole-FTL) which is a customized version of dnsmasq with lots of Pi-hole additions. This command is wrong:

sudo systemctl restart dnsmasq.service

Instead, try

sudo systemctl stop dnsmasq.service
sudo systemctl restart pihole-FTL.service
