I use the shield with an alternative front end/launcher.

I’d vlan anything cheap and Chinese. It’s pretty much guaranteed to phone home and send as much info about your environment as possible.

Lol I envy your optimism.

Throwing my vote for QNAP in the ring.

That looks fantastic, if only the parts were available rather than needing to find a pcb manufacturer, 3d print the case, etc.

(Well, never had an issue I didn’t cause myself at any rate.)

As is tradition

Accurate

Lol

I ran it on a linux-based NAS as well as a Windows server. I don’t use Pihole currently, however.

I agree. Unfortunately I don’t think u/jfb-pihole is on Lemmy and they’re one of the devs (I think) for Pihole. Best of luck with your issue!

One last piece of advice: Pihole has great support. I’ve gotten a ton of answers and assistance from the Pihole Sub on Reddit. I don’t know if it’s still active since the migration away from Reddit, but you may ask.

Yep, not having DNS/DHCP is a pain in the ass. When mine went down it would take my network with it because the Pihole was handling both. Expected but also a pain in the ass.

Taking a look at your Pihole logs is going to be helpful. Also knowing what kind of device is running the Pihole software may also help.

I had Pihole running on a raspberry pi 3 years ago, and I had pretty consistent issues. I’ve run it on other hardware since without a problem.

It could be an issue with the SD card, if you’re using a raspberry pi. I’ve also read that the log file can grow large enough to cause issues with your Pihole instance.

So there are a number of possibilities.

Lol it happens

At work we are using anydesk and boy… Even the paif Version isnt really Taster than the free one imho. Rufst is the next one i wanna try. About the openong ports. Maybe run it in a docker Container? For me a self hosted solutions also Sounds super nice and i gonna Look into it.

FTFY

Yep, I had the same with my TS-453, but mine was second hand. Ended up buying a new QNAP NAS and being very happy with it.

I have a QNAP NAS that I love. Can’t recommend it enough.

Yar! 🏴‍☠️

I totally understand and had the same experience as you lol

Yep. My understanding is you just take every supportive dialog option when talking to Ciri and that’s how you get the good ending.
