When Pi-hole is down? (lemmy.world)

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?

That's why you usually have two piholes, or adguard homes

And can even synchronize them

Thanks, I see that is the common recommendation. I also have to think what to do if I'm away and the family has issues.

I appreciate the response.

That’s where having 2 also comes in handy. If one goes down it will still work as if nothing happenedy

You mean 2 piholes or adguard homes, right? That way if one goes down you can still use the other one.

Yes exactly.
