GitHub unreachable on static IP, debug token fails to generate and upload

[grizzogor]

Expected Behaviour:

Whenever something has to use Github, I expect it to connect.

Actual Behaviour:

GitHub times out after a while. Using a ping command to github.com results in 100% failure. It did work before I switched the static IP to 192.168.3.14. (Standard range from the router is 192.168.0.1-255)

Debug Token:

The token fails to generate and upload, using the web GUI, it locks up.
Part of me thinks the problem is the static IP, I can experiment if anyone brings it up.

After you switched the static IP to the new IP, did you configure Pi-Hole to use this new IP?

pihole -r and select "reconfigure", then when prompted use the correct IP address and interface.

Okay, I'll do that

while reconfiguring, I saw that none of the bad domain lists actually downloaded. I'm thinking of letting the Pi-Hole use the router's provided IP and see if anything changes.

Do this first:

sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf

edit nameserver 127.0.0.1 to nameserver 9.9.9.9 or your preferred third party DNS service, save and exit

Run pihole -r and select repair.

Doing that didn't really help. I was able to fix it by changing the Pi-Hole's IP back to the DHCP provided one (which is 192.168.0.29). Soon, I can change my router's DNS settings to be fixed, and I can have the DHCP reservation pool have that IP removed. I had just found out that I can use pi.hole as the IP address because of cool DNS stuff. Thanks for helping me, at least!
