    I had to put my pihole on a brake for a while. I had it installed on a raspberry pi 3 and it destroyed 2 SD cards in a month. Now it just runs piVPN and all is well.

    Gonna reinstall next time I get a newer raspberry.

      Check out the overlay filesystem. I’m using it for one pi and have had the same SD card for years. I don’t know if it’ll work for pinole, but may get you thinking in a new direction.

      I just learned that san disk has a 10 year warranty. Today I made a claim for a 5 year old sdcard. Maybe worth a shot. (Just check with ypur manufacturer.)
