Hi, thanks for being part of this great project. I would need help as my friend google can not help me anymore
Expected Behaviour:
Access to web interface
Actual Behaviour:
after a power outage the web interface is not accessible anymore. lighttpd refuses to start, blocking and dns over http works
Debug Token:
k999znraw2
what I did:
pihole -r didn't help
