Update Woes, v5 to v6 broken my pihole

Expected Behaviour:

Updating from v5 to v6 should be seamless

  • Rasbian 11
    -RPi 3B+
    -Custom DNS on :7584 to update IP address for use with Wireguard/PiVPN (which also i snot working, sadly)

Actual Behavior:

At first I thought there was something wrong with the OS, so we updated everything behind it, but PiHole is still running too sluggishly to resolve DNS queries it seems.
I’ve gone ahead and disabled Lighttpd and reset the port to 80, but trying to test function with ‘nslookup google.com’ is a coin toss in returning a value. I think there’s still something causing high load on the CPU that’s still dragging down the Webpage and the ability to resolve DNS queries.

To note, I am a novice at Linux and know just enough to be dangerous and run any commands that you tell me to, though i won’t know exactly what they mean.

I would appreciate any advice to getting my PiHole back in working order, i forgot how terrible the internet is with ads all around it!

Thank you in advance!

Wow, I'm not sure what happened, but apparently overnight it seems to have fixed itself. Snappy responsive webpage, low CPU load, and everything works as before!

Gonna thank the technology elves that live in my walls or something, all's well that ends well!
