I have an asus router with a pi-hole on the network.

I was doing some work on my server and noticed that when pi-hole was down, I couldn’t access the internet. I was looking for some ideas online how to deal with this, but they said to have a second pihole on the network in case one is offline. Is that the only way to do it? Is there any way to have the network go back to normal if the pihole is offline?

    Yeah this is the next best option, but a secondary pihole is the best, so you still get the dns blocking while the first one is down.

    You listed cloudflare now (1.1.1.1) but I prefer https://www.quad9.net/ for the privacy and security.
