Definitely a skill issue haha. I’m brand new to this stuff so I’m trying to learn as fast as possible. Appreciate the help and the explanations!
Comment on I’m about to throw my entire Pihole out the window

If you can’t access your server and your router’s web interface, that’s a subnetting/DHCP allocation issue. Nothing to do with Pi-Hole.
For reference, there’s 2 ways to allocate static addresses to devices:
- Define DHCP range, and configure the application to use a static address outside of the allocation pool.
- Give out static addresses by MAC.

It’s alright, most computer geeks (even professional ones) can’t even figure out how IP addressing works. That’s why networking is its own sub group in enterprise environments.

If you’re a computer geek (even a professional one) and struggle with IP addressing, you won’t be having much of a career.

LMAO I know a whole bunch of people who don’t know a subnet mask from a hole in their ass and they’re doing just fine in their IT careers. You are overestimating the requirements for a great many corporate jobs.

Is this some kinda weird ass gatekeeping-esque computer geek thing? What you said is so wrong it’s not even funny.

A 30 day DHCP lease expiration would explain OP’s issue.

I vote for 60 day lease time, iirc the clients try to get a new lease when half of the time is over, so they can keep the ip.

Maybe, but I suspect it’s working like this:
This would explain why Pihole appears to cause problems every month, sometimes a little longer.

Basically, no static IPs at all. Lol
