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?

    I’m at 30k blocked per day, over 100k queries per day.

    This on a small 2 user network, with a handful of machines, but a fucking Samsung TV. That goddamn thing constantly pings all sorts of shit.

    If I really restrict it (breaking some stuff on the TV), I can get to 35% of queries blocked per day, mostly from it.

    Though nominal blocking kills the ads on the menu system, pretty well, making it much more responsive.
