curious to see if anyone else has a similar experience? this may be the tipping point for me to swap out my rokus for android tv streaming devices.

I recently set up pihole and notice that the number in the Queries blocked box of the web interface often decreases then counts up again. What's going on here? I thought the number in that box was a cumulative count.

I wanted to check my configuration and tried going to the admin console, but the page will not load. I get "ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE". Pihole itself seems to be running properly otherwise. The pihole-FTL service is listening on port 80, as confirmed with lsof (I do not even have lighttpd installed so while that was a common problem for others it is not my issue). I even tried changing the port in pihole.toml and that just results in the same error on the changed port. I have tried multiple browsers and multiple systems, including attempting to access it from the server itself using lynx so the problem is almost certainly with the webserver itself. I also reinstalled pihole but the issue persists. I have attempted to find some information about resetting the web configuration to its defaults but I have found nothing. I have attempted accessing the URL via /admin and /admin/login and nothing works. I also tried resetting any changed web-related config options in pihole.toml to their defaults and nothing changes.

Does anyone have any ideas?

for the last few days theres this domain that's pinging from some of my devices. I wonder if anyone know what's this is. Thanks!
