I’ve tried using all three methods to access the web interface and none of them work. When I try using the https://<IP_ADDRESS_OF_YOUR_PI_HOLE>/admin/ I get search results to access my router login. (I obviously replace the link with my pihole’s IP address but I still get router login results)
Accessing through pi.hole/admin or pi.hole usually works but I keep having trouble connecting to the site. Checked downforeveryoneorjustme.com and it looks like pi.hole is down. Has this happened to anyone before? Do I just wait for the site to go back up?
I’d check its IP in the router then try and access it via http, not https.
But my version in still 5.something and v6 could bring https, I have yet to update my LXCs
Try http rather than https
Ah that did it. Thanks!
Did you update from 5 to 6? That introduced a bunch of fuckery
Another comment said to use http instead of https and that worked. But it’s good to know not to update just yet. Thanks for the heads up!
This. After the most recent major version upgrade, I found mine was listening on port 8080. OP should try:
What exactly was the issue with it?
Is that something you control? Because pi.hole is not a registered domain name. (And I wouldn’t trust a random person’s pihole anyway.)
Assuming it’s your local pihole and you have DNS set up, I would check that configuration start to finish.
You are going to get a lot better advice posting on the pihole forum discourse.pi-hole.net
Aside from trying to reboot the pi-hole, you can also try plugging a monitor, and keyboard and mouse directly. You’ll get a better answer. Just waiting is not usually helpful.
downforeveryoneorjustme.com would not help as your pihole is a local service accessible only within your network.
That’s how I used to access the raspberry pi before learning of the web interface. Was a huge pain in the butt to do though. Another comment said to try using http instead of https and that did the trick!

Worth emphasizing. The call about the server being down is coming from inside the house!
When I try using the https://<IP_ADDRESS_OF_YOUR_PI_HOLE>/admin/ I get search results to access my router login.
Something is very wrong if you’re getting search results, maybe try a different browser?
Checked downforeveryoneorjustme.com and it looks like pi.hole is down.
The PiHole website is https://pi-hole.net/ is that what you meant to check?
You can’t check local private domains like pi.hole using a public service.
pi.hole is the domain to access the web interface whereas pi-hole.net is the official website for pi-hole to view documentation and download the client.
I realized I forgot to remove the <> from the url. Unfortunately I’m still unable to connect to that IP address though so I’m thinking I may have to restart my raspberry pi
