Just general question about pihole changing ip?

Hi, I could be wrong but before i swap to another alternative due lack of support. I wanted to ask why does pihole change IP to 5a.... long ip made of numbers and letters?

Are you referring to your Pi-hole machine's IP addresses?
Pi-hole does not change the network configuration of the machine that's hosting it.

each time when I had it installed, each machine at home mobile/pc/laptops had IP assigned as 5abaac..... etc

It's not clear what you are referring to?
Perhaps client IP addresses as observed in Pi-hole's dashboard?

Could you provide a screenshot?

This doesn't look like an IP.

There are 2 types of IP:

  • IPv4: 192.168.0.1, 10.0.10.25 (4 numbers between 0-255 separated by dots);
  • IPv6: 2001:0db8:85a3:08d3:1319:8a2e:0370:7344 (8 groups of 4 hexadecimal digits, separated by colons).

Maybe you are talking about the MAC Address of your machine.

Where are you seeing these addresses?
