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.
Oh no hate at all, I actually encourage you to try your hand at exploring your own solutions.
But if they’re giving you more trouble than the problem they were supposed to fix to begin with, it’s good to be reminded that there’s nothing wrong with using something built by someone else and that commercially relies on not having issues. This community will downvote and reply as if anything not self hosted is the devil reincarnated, but you know what, it’s safe and works.
All good I appreciate all the help and advice from the community here, even if some are politely telling me I’m an idiot lmao. Comes with technical communities so downvotes and the like don’t phase me (considering you can make a post, downvote yourself, then reliably start a downvote train even if there’s nothing wrong with the comment).
