pi-Hole: Dashboard times out

Look under Tools > Network. Chances are you'll see a bunch of IP addresses that don't belong to you, which would indicate that others are accessing your pi-hole.

There are 702 entries, there should only be 2

Recommended solution is to use a VPN -- https://docs.pi-hole.net/guides/vpn/overview/

Where are you hosting this? What measures have you taken to restrict access?
Host: Vultr
Steps taken: fail2ban
Can you verify fail2ban is working. The service might have stopped.

fail2ban doesn't do anything, at all, in this case. fail2ban is a tool for restricting IPs based on failed login attempts. There is no login situation here, so fail2ban doesn't have any way to come into place.
It's like asking how you keep people from walking across your grass and mentioning that you have a secret password on your laptop. Huh?

There's no possibility of it doing anything. There's nothing here for it to block.

@gjacobse I think using a free Cloudflare plan might help, if I understand the situation. I don't own a RP so just guessing. Cloudflare will block a lot of bad traffic.

Ok got it. I don't own one so kind of guessing at trying to help.

Set one up along with your new network gear. It is well worth it. Amazes me at how much crap gets blocked.

It's nothing to do with Pi-Hole, it's just not something that fail2ban is involved in.

Yeah I have always wanted to play with one. I need to do this soon. Just have had other stuff to mess with first lol.

I’ve only used Pi-Hole at home and it’s been working great.

It's nice for ad blocking for sure.

I use it on Vultr and have not had issues. But I'll move to just at home once we relocate. Don't want to be doing DNS calls back to the US when we don't need to.

@black3dynamite I use it at home and have zero complaints. My wife gets frustrated when she goes somewhere else and notices all the ads/crap that load.

My wife complains that she can't go to all the ads

My wife complained that it broke one of her games- which - honest I didn’t care about,...
Could I run this at home- IN home? I could. And if it’s a case of that’s a better option. I might just move to that.
The small instance running isn’t bad- running more hardware here isn’t the beat option as I don’t have any more hardware to run.

This one is hosted on Vultr as well - I need to step back and search - did you post the build here on ML?

Unless you have the Vultr Firewall in place restriciting access to your home IP or some software firewall running on the instance, you have setup a fucking public DNS server. What else would you expect to happen?

Great - that's an extra $10 a month unless I can run firewalld on the system and be fine.
