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.

    I’m running a bare metal esxi server and one of the containers is running my pie hole and it is relatively Rock solid.

    I think the original poster should probably just set a Cron job to reboot the pihole every 3 days or so at like 3:00 in the morning and that would solve the problem.

      That’s a decent idea for a workaround but I think I found my issue and have set my static IP address for my server to be outside my DHCP range. Here’s hoping it works. I’ll know in 90 days haha.
