Hello everyone, I'm new to this and hopefully I can get some help.

It's been a bit since I login back into the pihole and now I can't do it through the terminal and PowerShell using the IP that was set. I've tried the IP address and the user@host.local.
But had an idea to try the tailscale ip and that works. I don't know what's going on.

Details on the device:

Raspberry Pi Zero 2. Running Raspberry Pi os Lite 32bit Debian Trixie w/ no desktop environment.

SSH is enable

It has IPv4 not IPv6

What I've tried:

ssh user@host.local and host@user.local say, ssh: Could not resolve hostname host.local: No such host is known.

ssh user@host and host@user say, ssh: Could not resolve hostname hostname: No such host is known.

Typing the Ip address w/admin (192.168.x.x/admin) or (192.168.x.x:80/admin) in the web browser say, This site can’t be reached

Pinging the ip that was set say, Request timed out, Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 1, Lost = 3 (75% loss)

Pinging the tailscale ip say, Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss)

I can access it on through the browser on the tailscale ip not on the set ip.

If there's anything that I've missed please tell me.

Connect via above, and check links:

ip -br link

Addresses:

ip -br address

And routes:

ip route

And make sure the local firewall allows SSH:

sudo nft list ruleset

Or for older distro's:

sudo iptables -nL

Also check sshd binds to all "0.0.0.0" and "::" :

sudo ss -nltp sport = 22

Hello

I forgot to mention that I can only access it on the website browser. So typing the ip in the browser.

Hello deHakkelaar

Sorry for the late reply. So I don't have a KVM.

But I've found out that if I unplug it and plug it back it works again and it happen this time as well. I don't know if it's the internet doing it. The internet where I live is not great but I can use it. I there any information about the internet disconnecting and/or having to turn on/off the power to the board.

I have it powered from a phone charger. It's not near the wifi router.

Here is a setup in my room
