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?
ssh into your pi-hole if possible and try using commands systemctl status pihole-FTL Check the status, and if its disabled use the same command but with start instead of status. Also if this this your first time setup, double check that everything you did is correct, like the DNS setting on router, if the devices get the right DNS etc.
