Every month or so all my devices lose internet and the only way to connect them all back is to disconnect them from the DNS server that Pihole is running.

I set my Pihole to have a static IP but for some reason after around a month or maybe longer, it just fails. This has happened 4 times over the last while and the only fix is to essentially uninstall everything on my Pihole, disable it, and then reconfigure it from scratch again.

I’m not sure what’s going on so any help would be appreciated.

    One last piece of advice: Pihole has great support. I’ve gotten a ton of answers and assistance from the Pihole Sub on Reddit. I don’t know if it’s still active since the migration away from Reddit, but you may ask.

      I’d rather ask here and start building up the knowledge base off Reddit but you’re right.

      I think I know my problem though (something I’m not able to fix aaaaa)

        I agree. Unfortunately I don’t think u/jfb-pihole is on Lemmy and they’re one of the devs (I think) for Pihole. Best of luck with your issue!
