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.
Are you on the same subnet as your router or are you on the subnet that your custom dhcp server is handing out? If your router is 192.168.1.1 and your ip is on the 192.168.2.x range, they aren’t going to be able to communicate.
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
