Pi-hole is a free, open-source network-level advertisement and Internet tracker blocking application. It runs on a Raspberry Pi or other Linux-based systems and acts as a DNS sinkhole, blocking unwanted traffic before it reaches a user’s device. Pi-hole can also function as a DHCP server, providing IP addresses and other network configuration information to devices on a network. The software is highly configurable and supports a wide range of customizations, such as allowing or blocking specific domains, setting up blocklists and whitelists, and customizing the appearance of the web-based interface. The main purpose of Pi-hole is to protect users’ privacy and security by blocking unwanted and potentially malicious content, such as ads, trackers, and malware. It is designed to be easy to set up and use, and can be configured through a web-based interface or through a terminal-based command-line interface.

Can you ping api.github.com? Also what happens if you open api.github.com in your browser? If there are too many requests from one ip, you might get blocked from Github. If that is the case, you can try again in 1-2 hours
I’m the tech director here and we have lots of blocks for github because students (I work in a school district) use github as a tool to get around our filters. I’m 87% sure that’s the issue. I’m talking to my team now about ways to get around that for this ProxMox learning I’m doing.
