I’m about to throw my entire Pihole out the window

Selfhosted@lemmy.world – 83 points – 1 years ago

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.

Ya I’m on the same subnet

Are you using https?

Nah http://. Tried both but none worked. Probably going to need to factory reset my router to ensure there aren’t any unlisted networks that may be the admin one. I have a sneaking suspicion my current network setup is actually on a secondary network (which could be why I can’t log into it)

Isolate a pc with the router and download advanced ip scanner. It will list all active ips and there should only be 2
