Can't add blocklists

Expected Behaviour:

Adding block lists from firebog

Actual Behaviour:

After hitting the online update button, I get a connection failed error for all added lists. I also can't generate a debug token: curl: (7) Failed to connect to tricorder.pi-hole.net port 443: No route to host

Internet is working like normal

Debug Token:

What OS and hardware (rPi)? Can you access other locations on the Internet from it?

Raspberry pi 4 with dietpi

How would I check that I can access other locations on the internet?

If you have a desktop and browser installed on it, open those up and try browsing the web as normal. Or open a terminal and see if you can ping Google and grab the example.com web page. It will help see if you can can connect out and have internet access and the problem is just Pi-hole, or if there is a wider problem.

ping -c 5 www.google.com
curl http://example.com | head

I get the following reply form the terminal. So it seems to be an internet problem?

Aye looks like the whole setup has no network. The ifconfig command will show if you have network interfaces (ethernet port or wifi) that have IP addresses on your network (eg 192.168.something or maybe 10.something).

What about other devices on your network, can they access the Internet okay, eg laptops, phones, etc?

If they're okay and it's just the DietPi that's offline, you probably need to enable networking in its settings somewhere. I don't know enough about DietPi to know how to do it, there's probably a menu you use to set up its networking.

That's also what my conclusion was but the strange thing is that the pihole's dashboard is working and showing that some domains have been blocked.
All other devices can access the network like normal
