ok thxs, didnt know that. I had updated Dietpi and Pihole and next day I lost internet. After some torturous hours of troubleshooting, I determined the time sync was the issue. After setting time, all was good. I do notice in piHole web UI, the time is using UTC…

Usually the time should be updated once a day. Can you take a look at the logs?

journalctl -u systemd-timesyncd.service
