Pi-Hole Failing after ~24 hours

Expected Behaviour:

The Pi-Hole should be set up and not require intervention.

  • OS: Raspbian Buster
  • Hardware: Raspberry Pi 3B+
  • Router: Netgear r6700v2 running Netgear Genie

Actual Behaviour:

After roughly a day, the entire network loses its internet connection. Cannot run pihole -r, because it requires internet. The Pi-Hole also loses internet connection, despite being plugged into the router via Ethernet. Resetting the router settings to factory defaults restores the internet, which means I do have internet when not using the Pi-Hole.

Debug Token:

I can't upload the debug logs to Tricorder (requires network access), so here's a Pastebin.

Try changing your upstream server from Cloudflared to something else. There is a SERVFAIL error in your log that may indicate a Cloudflared problem.

Changed the DNS to Google, no luck.

Here's the new Pastebin

You haven't changed the DNS to Google, you have added Google. Cloudflared is one of your upstream DNS servers.

In the admin console, the only DNS servers checked are for Google. Is there a setting somewhere else I'm missing?

I've restarted the Pi and run pihole -d again. Here's the new Pastebin. I don't see Cloudflare listed in the DNS variables, though I have configured DNS-over-HTTPS (using the manual method), which uses cloudflared.

Look at your Custom1 DNS server. Check box is checked.

Yes, I set it in accordance with the DNS-over-HTTPS docs.
