The issue I am facing:
Hello,
Sometimes my PiHole would stop working completely. I would be browsing the internet and notice an ad. I would ssh into my Pi and would do a "pihole -r". However this time I received some errors about my sudoers file. Then all of the sudden it works again. I ran through the whole repair process and it works again, but only for about 6 hours before it stopped working again.
When I restarted my Pi and started the process of pihole -r, instead of giving me the sudoers error, it gave me a "run apt-get update" errors. After maybe more than a 1/2 hour, pihole -r started working fine and everything has been working fine for over 24 hours.
I left the house with Pihole not working. I was going to buy a new SD card, because I was thinking the card was failing. While waiting in line, I decided to connect to my Pi via OpenVPN and it worked.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Details about my system:
I bought this Pi from PiSupply and it had everything already preloaded. Please see what I found out below:
