I tried setting up a "pi-hole" today and I followed the instructions carefully and it simply "did not work" and "I don't know enough about networking to diagnose why" and "I give up"

I’m Ruby。 I’m roughly 20 apples tall
ルビーです。背がりんごを20つぐらいです。
I drew my profile pic and banner. The gameplay in the banner is from dragon quest 1 for game boy that I recorded myself.

Networking is one of those aspects of Computers where I go from the designated know-it-all family tech support guy to [LOUD STATIC NOISES]
I think I’m gonna take an online course about it tbh, I’m in my “learning everything there is to know about computers and electronics” era, after all
Get ready for hell. I think it might be one of those topics that's easier to understand if you learn its history. Instead of having all the concepts thrown at you at once, seeing how the industry evolved and how each puzzle piece came after the other, what built on what, would make the whole picture easier to comprehend.
But I haven't learned any of it so I wouldn't know. I know @cathoderaydude works in networking though and when they talk about it it's just word salad to me lmao.
I think once I learn it I’ll be like yeah cool I know everything there is to know about networking now
