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.

    Personally I given up on pihole.
    it’s just caused too many issues blocking sites that my family were using.
    And then even for local DNS use case - I figured it makes no sense for me. I can just configure one of my real sub domains to resolve to local IP and be done with it.

    No idea what specifically is your issue - but can’t you just connect the pihole to monitor and keyboard and look at the logs?
