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.

    This is not an answer to the question at all

      Yeah it is? There’s a reason your dns confutation has a backup IP address.

        That is true. But a simple service like dsn doesn’t go sideways every month usually. If he gets two of these services running, he just had double the trouble.
