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.
That’s a good idea that I hadn’t considered. I’ll see if I can get Pihole running on an old android phone I have lying around.
Edit: I now have PiHole running on an old Pixel 3a and have decommissioned my PiHole docker container on my home server.
My server and a raspberry are running adguard home
Both have autoupdate with autoreboot. If I need to change something, connect, disconnected, everything will continue working
I have a google router and It allows me to enter 2 DNS servers incase the first DNS Server doesnt work.
