I have an asus router with a pi-hole on the network.
I was doing some work on my server and noticed that when pi-hole was down, I couldn’t access the internet. I was looking for some ideas online how to deal with this, but they said to have a second pihole on the network in case one is offline. Is that the only way to do it? Is there any way to have the network go back to normal if the pihole is offline?
Another trick is setting up a guest/secondary AP that don’t use pi-hole. When your pihole is down, just switch to the secondary AP. Most routers can setup multiple APs, though not all can setup different dns server for the other APs.
Thanks, that might work. I’ll check into it.
