I've had that happen twice in the last 2 days.

Never.

Nope, have not seen that.

gave my echo dot a DHCP reservation and rebooted it yesterday. It has not built back up to the crazy levels of phoning home yet.

But in only 24 hours it is already the top client again.
From the top down.
Echo Dot, Wife's cell phone, my desktop, my laptop.

Curious to those of you who used a cloud VM to install it on ... did you also install a SSL cert?

No cert here. I really never log into it. Like... never ever. I don't even know the password. Once it is up and running, there is essentially no need to look at it for most people. Of those that do need to look at it, just to see traffic, that doesn't require a log in.

I don't have port 80 open on mine, only port 53.

Going to get to the admin GUI using my NGINX reverse proxy which has a Let's Encrypt Wildcard

Yes. I set it up on Vultr and SSL for admin page. No proxy though.

I've never logged into the web interface in mine, been managing it through the command line only. If I ever want to look at the web interface, I'll add it via the nginx reverse proxy that's also running on that server.

EchoDot came back hard.

I disabled the pi-hole for 5 minutes (setting in the menu on the left) and poof. it is happy again.
