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.
Well in my case it’s due to me just not knowing that this other stuff exists and primarily wanting to Adblock with a piece of software that’s well known and well documented as I’m very noob at self hosting and networking 😛 I’ll have to take a look at those other services you’ve mentioned.
Just fyi so you can hate me more, I’m running Pihole on Windows using WSL.

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).
