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.

    It’s definitely more difficult when you don’t have control over the DHCP server. Is it part of a router provided by your ISP?

      Yeah the router is provided by the ISP and it has very limited options on it but it is running the DHCP server.
