First of all, my parents have a Raspberry Pi V1.0 (the still holeless one) that has been piholing since day one. That's like a decade.
I keept it there, caseless and dangling from the lan cable, for sentimental reasons, I've grown fond of it.
Second of all, there is a secondary dns on Proxmox should the Pi need a rest.
Edit:
Forgot the third of all - that Raspberry doesn't even have a heatsink, much less a fan.
Does this thing still get updates??
Updates?
It's running Pi Hole ... the lists get updated, as for the base os I don't even remember what I installed (I think I switched from regular Debian to DietPi at one point, I think the Debian upgrade borked something & I changed it up).
Thx, I should check it.
So... you have a not updated device, running some form of Debian, connected to your network, and all your devices rely on that for DNS???
It should be getting updates and it's in LAN, the exploits would have to be fairly specific.
But I have indeed not checked on it for years. Proxmox has made me lazy af.
I could VPN there now via phone & check it (if I even enabled SSH), or just shut it down (threy have AdGuard as backup sinkhole), but that sounds like work.
Where does it get the DNS list if it is only in LAN?
No, no, not isolated
