I’m about to throw my entire Pihole out the window (lemmy.ca)

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.

Haha yeah a big strong network person would be running proxmox or Ubuntu server or Debian or something and having a better time. I’m my defense, I’m both lazy and stupid so while (almost) everything is working, I’m keeping windows

    Nothing wrong with a Windows box as your server. Use what you know. Windows skills are a great asset in the world.

    This issue is OS-independent, meaning you would have the same problem on a Raspberry Pi as you did on your Windows box.
