Hello,
After playing around with Pi-Hole on a Pi Zero to see how it does, it lost connection after a power cycle so that I could move the device to a more permanent location.
What is the output of the following command from the Pi terminal:
sudo service pihole-FTL status
● pihole-FTL.service - LSB: pihole-FTL daemon
Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/pihole-FTL; generated)
Active: active (exited) since Sat 2019-11-02 02:48:20 GMT; 9min ago

Something is interfering with pihole-FTL launching on port 53. Let's see what's running on ports used by Pi-Hole and associated DNS servers. Output of the following command from the Pi terminal?
sudo netstat -nltup | grep 'Proto\|:53 \|:5053 \|:5353 \|:8953 \|:67 \|:80 \|:471'
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo netstat -nltup | grep 'Proto\|:53 \|:5053 \|:5353 \|:8953 \|:67 \|:80 \|:471'

You have unbound listening on port 53, and this is interfering with pihole-FTL. To work alongside Pi-Hole, unbound should be on a separate port. The Pi-Hole guide for unbound puts it on port 5353.
Something is up with the link currently. It isn't loading correctly for me
Like I said, I was just messing around. How would I uninstall Unbound?
sudo apt remove unbound
Apologies for the bad link - pasted it twice. Corrected.
Thank you for the help!
I had a feeling that it was a result of me messing about.
