You can continue to use them as before by setting `misc.etc_dnsmasq_d = true`, e.g.,

```auto
sudo pihole-FTL --config misc.etc_dnsmasq_d true

```

This is disabled by default to avoid conflicts due to the many rewrites of config files Pi-hole does during the migration to v6.0. It is impossible to anticipate all the possible custom advanced user configurations correctly.

`pihole.toml` says:

```yaml
  # Should FTL load additional dnsmasq configuration files from /etc/dnsmasq.d/?
  etc_dnsmasq_d = false

```
