And then, all of a sudden, yesterday at 11:38, PiHole stopped servicing

Please follow the below template, it will help us to help you!

Expected Behaviour:

[Running as usual]

Actual Behaviour:

[Not forwarding DNS requests from clients on the LAN
I don't know what happened. As far as I remember there was nothing special, no change on the RPI, no change in the network.
Picture shows requests before and after. Before different clients, after just localhost.
O btw, no IP#'s as I edited /etc/hosts]

Debug Token:

Based on your debug log, looks like something did happen there as your selected/set interface (tun0) is no longer available.

As well as everything tied to network connectivity...

Run a pihole -r and reconfigure to the eth0 interface and give it a spin after that.

That's swift! I'll do so.
I'll dive into the RPI logs as well.

Is this helpfull?

And there's a warning too:
DataTables warning: table id=all-queries - Requested unknown parameter '3' for row 94, column 3. For more information about this error, please see http://datatables.net/tn/4

I have applied the classic solution

  • uninstall piHole
  • restart
  • install PiHole

What I encounter is that it is necessary to manually set PIHOLE_INTERFACE=wg0
in /etc/pihole/setupVars.conf
I had forgotten that it fails there every now and then, with install as well as when changing settings in the admin interface.

OK, as mentioned before a did another run.
Again PiHole DNS server stopped.

`
After that: sudo service pihole-FTL stop, sudo service pihole-FTL start, sudo service pihole-FTL status giving the same output.
Running DNSbench from Windows gives me this picture:Knipsel
It should be like this:

How come it stops after having done it's job for half a day.

O, almost forgot: admin shows this
Knipsel
and terminal shows this:
